Groundcovers Questions
What do groundcovers do in a landscape?+
Groundcovers spread low to cover bare beds, slopes, and borders, which can reduce weeds and soften hard edges.
How many groundcover plants do I need?+
It depends on the spread of the plant and the area you are filling; closer spacing covers faster.
Can groundcovers replace some lawn?+
In the right spot, low groundcovers can fill areas where turf struggles, such as shade or hard-to-mow slopes.
How long do groundcovers take to fill in?+
It depends on the plant and spacing. Closer spacing and steady water during establishment help them knit together faster, often within a season or two.
When is the best time to plant groundcovers?+
Fall and spring are ideal in Zone 9b so plants root in before summer heat, though container plants can go in year round with regular water.
What is the best groundcover for full sun in Florida?+
Sun-tolerant groundcovers for Zone 9b include sunshine mimosa, perennial peanut, beach sunflower, and dwarf juniper. They spread to cover beds and slopes while handling our heat and sandy soil.
