Green spaces play a vital role in our health and well-being. That’s why growing plants that make our landscapes work and provide ecological functions is so important. In a recent post, we highlighted a few GrassSolutions™ that give you sensible and stylish choices for covering the ground.
What’s the big deal about ground covers? They reduce costs while offering big benefits. Ground covers help prevent weeds by competing for open ground and other resources. They hold in the soil and reduce erosion. They slow and filter runoff, reducing pollutants that flow downstream into rivers, lakes, and oceans. That translates to cleaner water for everyone. In shady or partially shady spots where turfgrass rarely thrives, they’re easier to establish than traditional lawns. And they don’t need to be mowed. With a ground cover in place, you’re doing all kinds of great work while using minimal resources.
Many of the low-growing grasses and sedges we offer are excellent ground covers.
