In colder areas, plant groundcovers in the spring especially for rooted cuttings or bare-root plants. They will have a longer growing season to get established. Early fall is okay but don't wait too late into the season since plants can suffer from frost heaving. In warmer areas, they can be planted almost any time. Be sure they are watered regularly if the rains don't suffice.
