Ground cover - weed suppressing
To cover bare earth and act as an active weed depressant, think of plants that naturally spread themselves across the ground. These come into their own when a large area is to be covered, and one that would benefit from the harmony of repetition of a plant form. Varieties can be found that are low-growing, or that can be several metres high. It is possible to choose plants that are primarily for foliage interest, or plants that flower gloriously, such as ground cover roses. ; Top tip: Be mindful that they tend to grow quickly so may need thinning out or trimming to avoid neighbouring plants being overcome or choked.
