If you are new to gardening, you may have heard the term “groundcover” bandied about. Groundcover is what it sounds like – an easy growing plant that can provide coverage where needed. If you have bald patches in your garden or want to add more robustness to the overall look of your garden, groundcover can solve both of these issues. Many gardeners also love ground cover, because it grows easily. It can save you a lot of work and effort if you strategically add groundcover to your garden. Additionally, groundcover can help prevent weed growth and erosion. Many different plants make good groundcover, and the type of groundcover you choose will depend on your specific needs and how you want to design your garden. Some types of groundcover, like brass buttons, bishop’s weed and ajuga won’t clash or outshine your flowers, while thyme, lamium, and lily of the valley provide their own blossoms, which can add strokes of color to your yard and garden. Better Homes and Gardens provides a slideshow of over 30 great groundcover options. Make sure to check the growing zones of the groundcover you may want to use and what types of growing conditions that it needs.
