Answer to Question 1

The environmental benefits of groundcovers are to fill in bare spots in the landscape,
prevent erosion of soil on steep banks, and fill in shady areas under trees where other
plants have difficulty growing.



Answer to Question 2

Seven different factors to consider when selecting a groundcover for a site are:
 In what type of soil does the plant grow best?
 Is it suitable for the locality?
 How is it propagated?
 How long will it take for the plants to cover the area in which they are planted?
 What is the mature height of the plant?
 Are diseases and insects a problem?
 How expensive are the plants?
