The ajuga appeared from somewhere and it will replace the grass. The one to stay completely away from is a sedum called stonecrop sold as steppables-I Can Not get rid of it in the grass. It’s been years and it still appears. The Lamium has nice bright color. Sweet Williams are great bloomers and crowd weeds but need cut back and they really reseed big time-deadhead if not wanted. That Brass Buttons looks neat and tidy like the Elfin Thyme 😀.

Getting native plants is so problematic. I'm glad you talked about the phlox, but I'll be danged if it wouldn't be fantastic to see more mention of native Carex, or Wild Strawberry, some Wild Ginger, Green-n-Gold, and our own American Pachysandra. Every plant on the "invasive" plant list was brought in by experts who thought they could control the spread of the plant, that it wasn't "too thuggish" in the garden. And then it got out. English Ivy is a prime example of this. Yet, with all those many examples of invasive plants running rampant through the ecosystem, you have to hunt hard to find native plants that do the job right.

As I am applying yards and yards of mulch to my garden beds and wondering what I can do to minimize this chore in the future, this video is inspiring me to make my 2025 garden focus filling in most of my beds with groundcovers! I am also in Ohio, so am assuming everything you featured will work well for me. I am especially interested in groundcovers that are not too invasive, and easy to rip out (preferably just with my hands) if I decide I want to plant something else in that spot- any particular recommendations? Thanks for this timely video!
@PetittiGardenCenters6 ай бұрын
Perennial groundcovers are a perfect living solution to reduce your mulching tasks! The clump formers like Creeping Phlox are slower moving and don't spread aggressively. I like the Dianthus and Sedum varieties for sunny spots, and creeping phlox can grow in part shade along with Sweet Woodruff.

Just watched and fell in love with the Georgia Blue veronica. Have not seen that in any other ground cover videos. Unfortunately can’t find it near me (AL zone 8) and I’m too far to drive to Ohio. 😭 😊 Will have to look again next year.
@Krautastic8 ай бұрын
What's the best strategy for groundcover and mulch? Should you plant your plugs at the suggested spacing and leave the ground in between bare and just weed as needed or mulch in between? I have a large bed that is mulched that I've put various ground covers in. Ultimately I'd like it completely taken over, but what to do in the mean time.
@PetittiGardenCenters8 ай бұрын
Placing a light layer of mulch (1-2") between the newly planted groundcover plants will help reduce weeds but also keep the soil moist and cooler so the groundcovers can get established and can eventually start expanding into the soil spaces.
@TRguy642 ай бұрын
Here in zone 3 / 4, I don't think there's any other plant that can look as good and be as enduring as pachysandra, I have several large swaths of both the variegated and plain green leaf types and these grow thick, full and fantastic in the moist soil and semi shaded location. I had some periwinkle in there as well, although nice, it just ran so rampant up and over the pachysandra, so out it went! Pachysandra is great erosion control as well.

Do you have any thoughts on scotch moss as a ground cover? I’m in the Midwest, zone 6a
@PetittiGardenCenters7 ай бұрын
Scotch Moss is a great plant to fill in small spaces (in between pavers, in rock gardens). but not large groundcover areas. It's pretty slow growing and will expand to about 12" wide, requires well-drained soil, but can't go dry and will burn out. Cold hardiness is not a problem, colorful foliage is a plus.

How aggressive are these groundcovers?
@PetittiGardenCenters8 ай бұрын
Each groundcover has a varying growth rate & aggressiveness. The tight, cushioned types do not grow as quickly as the longer/taller stemmed varieties that are able to cover more space more quickly. Avoid more woody stemmed groundcovers like English Ivy, Vinca vine, Pachysandra, etc. because they really can establish quickly if you are looking for something less aggressive. Avoid chaemeleon plant (Houttytnia) & Bishop's weed (Aegopodium) as well due to their aggressive growth habit.

The Yellow Archangel and Isotoma/Laurentia are very invasive and on quarantine lists in some states. You should've researched the plants you showcased and mentioned that to your viewers. I gave up on your info after your statements on these two--didn't watch the rest.

We are growers and garden center retailers in northeast Ohio. The Ohio Department of Agriculture determines what plant species are invasive and therefore regulates what we can grow/sell or must discontinue growing and selling. Lamiastrum spp. & Isotoma/Laurentia spp. are not considered invasive plants in Ohio. They are vigorous to aggressive growing and non-native plant species, but still considered usable groundcover options that we wanted to show in the video. If you garden in another state or another part of the world, yes, these plants may not be suitable or deemed invasive for your garden. agri.ohio.gov/divisions/plant-health/invasive-pests/invasive-and-noxious-plants/invasive-plants

@@PetittiGardenCenters right but you should remind your viewers to check the status of these invasive plants in their own state, you're doing a disservice.
