Native Plants as Groundcovers

Move over Vinca, stand back Ajuga. Liriope? Take a seat. Native groundcovers can do everything these non-native plants can do – suppress weeds, prevent erosion, and replace turf grass. They also can support pollinators, butterflies, and other vital insects. If you’re looking for a variety of native groundcover options, or want to learn more about planting with “green mulch” – this program is for you!
