Using Ground Cover as Live Mulch
#1 · 12/10/2025, 00:16
Benefits of Ground Cover
Ground cover plants help reduce water evaporation from the soil, suppress weed growth, and contribute organic matter to improve soil health.
Recommended Plants
Some excellent choices for summer include New Zealand spinach, Oxalis latifolia, Chinese garlic chives, and daylilies. These ornamentables not only thrive but also add visual appeal to your garden.
Managing Plant Spread
Since these ground covers can spread aggressively, it is crucial to create borders, use containers, or avoid planting them near water sources. Containment helps prevent unwanted spreading and keeps your garden tidy.
