Ground Covers for Missouri
Ground covers are low-growing plants that spread quickly to form a dense cover. They add beauty to the landscape and at the same time prevent erosion.
Additional Information
Grass is the best known ground cover, but it’s not suited to all locations. This presentation offers recommended ground covers for Missouri landscapes. We also present potentially invasive ground covers that are no longer recommended, but you will see in many area yards.
