Ground covers are a unique part of the Plant Kingdom. Their purpose is to provide a covering on<br />

the ground, hence the clever nomenclature. Many areas in your landscape can benefit from a ground cover<br />

planting. For example, you can easily remedy steep slopes or poor, rocky soil just by establishing ground<br />

cover in the area. Maybe there is a spot where grass just will not grow under your trees or you simply dislike<br />

mowing a particular patch of your lawn, so why not just fill it up with a ground cover? Some add a dazzling<br />

touch of color with their seasonal blooms while others give you a nice evergreen covering in the dead of winter.<br />

Ground covers form a permanent (We hope) covering over the earth which helps to prevent erosion,<br />

and hinder weeds and other vegetative nuisances from taking over a tough area to plant. These omnifarious<br />

plants can bear flowers, colored foliage throughout different times of the year or just kind of hang out and<br />

cover an unpleasant view throughout the year.<br />
