Groundcover do just that- cover ground. They will fill spaces
between shrubs and trees so weeds won’t grow. Many groundcovers are
evergreen, some flower, while others are perennials that lose their leaves for winter. They are valued for their flowers,
foliage, and ability to cover ground and keep soil from eroding.

for greater spacing and less plants per square foot. |
