Two of the biggest problems in gardens across the US are weeds and deer. But what if I said there were plants to solve both these problems at the same time? Yes, really!
Ground cover plants are varieties that suppress weeds, preventing them from coming up in the first place, or that steadily smother them and prevent them from spreading. There are many attractive, mostly evergreen varieties for sun or shade or a little of both – but there’s more. We all know that deer love to eat some plants but almost never eat others. Well, among all those weed-suppressors are some varieties that the deer don’t eat – usually because the deer hate the taste.
