Ground cover plants do more than fill gaps in borders – many are highly effective at suppressing weeds, helping to keep your yard looking tidy with less effort. By forming a dense carpet of foliage, these low-growing plants cover bare soil, reducing opportunities for weed seeds to germinate and establish.
As well as providing attractive foliage and flowers, the best ground cover plants act as a living mulch, blocking light from reaching the soil and crowding out unwanted growth. While this green covering is attractive, these are some of the best plants to stop weeds, and so are more than just an aesthetic addition.
