Ground covers are low-growing plants that spread across the soil, providing a dense mat of foliage. They are often used to prevent soil erosion, suppress weeds, and enhance the aesthetic appeal of gardens and landscapes. Common types of ground covers include Creeping Thyme, Pachysandra, and Ajuga, each offering unique colors and textures. These plants thrive in various conditions, from sunny to shady areas, making them versatile for different garden designs. Ground covers can also improve soil health by adding organic matter as they grow and die back. They are an excellent choice for filling in bare spots and creating a lush, green carpet.
