Nature does fast-growing ground cover plants very well. Look at any large area of woodland, rainforest, open country or dry terrain and you will see colonies of plants at your feet. They often form large spreading groups and look amazing growing en masse, greening up the bare soil.
In the backyard, using ground cover plants is often seen as a practical solution for managing weeds and preventing soil erosion in larger areas. But it’s also an essential design tool that will lend your garden a soft, natural beauty, even those that may appear boring like Soleirolia soleirolii.
