Groundcover

Ground Covers are fabulous for covering those ugly bare spots in a garden or on a lawn.  When shopping for ground covers you will find that there are hundreds to choose from so it will be easy to find one that will work for you.

There are ground covers that will have beautiful flowers and there are also ground covers that will just have beautiful green vibrant leaves.  Either of these are great and they will make an area look splendid.  Ground Covers are also very easy to get to grow and a lot of ground covers even like shaded areas and will grow well in shade.

Finding the perfect ground cover for a garden or natural area can be fun.  Looking through them will bring lots of knowledge as to where they will grow best and in what conditions a ground cover will survive.  Ground Covers are also great to line a long walkway or a long driveway and will bring a lot of class to a lawn.  Ground Covers will also be in assorted heights as some of them can grow to be tall and some will just be very short and spread along the ground.

A good and popular ground cover is Phlox.  This one will have beautiful blooms that will come in different colors such as pink, purple and white and the colors will depend on the variety that is picked for an area.  Phlox is very easy to get to grow and become established in a garden or along a walkway.  It also depends on the amount of ground that needs to be covered.  It may take only a couple to cover an area and if the area is large several plants may need to be purchased.

Ground Covers are also a great way to eliminate soil erosion.  If ground covers are planted on banks or steep hills around a landscape the soil will become busy around the roots and will not wash away as bad as if just left alone.  Ground Covers also work well around water gardens and also lakes and ponds to help with soil erosion.

There are great selections of ground covers and they can also be mixed up in a flower garden or natural area to add a wonderful look.  Some ground covers can have beautiful blooms and some can be a wonderful green color and will look brilliant when planted together.
