Question about ground cover and flowers (Zone 6) (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I'm working on expanding a flower bed that is currently all mulch between the flowers/plants. If I was to replace most of the mulch with a ground-cover plant, would that impact any other flowers/plants from coming up as they grow?

I like the look of a flowering ground-cover over mulch but don't want it stifling any other growth.

Thanks for the response! I’ve got a full clover/grass lawn so was thinking of another type (haven’t done a ton of research into it yet, figured first step was asking if it was even a good idea!) Seems like the consensus is that it aught to be okay, I just need to be smart about it and pay attention.
