Will ground cover prevent weeds from growing?
Once established, they help deter the germination of new weed seeds and prevent old weeds from returning by crowding them out. If you’re looking for an easy, organic way to control your weeds, it’s time to look into ground covers and flowering plants. While hostas may not be as aggressive at suppressing weeds as other ground covers, their dense foliage, and ground-covering habit help reduce weed growth in shaded areas. They create competition for weeds by occupying space and resources, which can aid in keeping weeds at bay.
