Native Ground Covers
Below is our selection of native ground covers. A ground cover is any plant that grows low to the ground and protects the topsoil from erosion and drought. In many ecosystems, ground covers form the layer of vegetation below the shrub layer known as the herbaceous layer, and provides habitat and concealment for terrestrial fauna. The most widespread ground covers are grasses of various types.
