Groundcovers
WHAT ARE GROUNDCOVER PLANTS? Groundcovers are low growing, spreading plants that play a pivotal role in every garden landscape. Ground covers not only create a lush carpet affect, but also serve as effective weed suppressors, soil moisture retainers, and natural shade for soils during the hottest months. From preventing erosion, to enhancing the look and feel, these low-growing plants are the cornerstone of well-designed outdoor spaces.
WHY USE GROUNDCOVER PLANTS? Groundcovers serve as nature's living mulch, offering an array of practical benefits. Their sprawling nature helps control soil erosion, making them invaluable for hilly terrains, embankments and sloped gardens. Additionally, these plants act as a natural weed suppressant, reducing the need for chemical intervention and fostering a healthier ecosystem.
Groundcover plants have many benefits:
Erosion Control: Combat soil erosion and promote stability with groundcovers such as Myoporum parvifolium (Creeping Boobialla) that will thrive on slopes and is a great choice for bank stabilisation.
Weed Suppression: Groundcovers naturally suppress weeds, fostering a healthier ecosystem. Pratia pedunculata (Trailing Pratia) is just one of the groundcovers at Plantmark that's an excellent weed suppressor, with pretty white star-shaped flowers.
Water Conservation: Choose drought-tolerant varieties for water-wise landscaping, that give a lush green look, without the watering requirements of a lawn.
