Groundcovers: What are They and How to Use Them

This presentation provides a definition for “groundcover,” which is a broader category than most realize. The focus is on advantages of using plants to conserve water, keep weeds at bay, and create plant communities with common growing conditions. Examples of perennial and shrubs that may successfully be used for groundcovers in sun, shade, and part sun/shade are included.
