My TOP 5 Ground Covers

▪️ It’s amazing how many things I plant in my landscape to solve problems, rather than for intrinsic beauty. Fortunately, I have discovered some groundcover solutions that do both. After having tried numerous GROUNDCOVERS, I have found these to be my top 5 for my zone 7 garden. I base these selections on year-round good looks, even in a horrifically hot summer, reliability, low maintenance, and drought tolerance.

1. Dwarf Mondo Grass
2. Ajuga aka Bugleweed
3. Brick, gravel + stone
4. Creeping Herbs
5. Shrubs like Nandina

A different garden with a different growing situation would no doubt, make this list different as well. But I have found all of these to be tried, true, and workable. What would you add to the list?
