Keep Weeds Out Of Your Garden For Good With This Colorful Plant

Weed removal is tedious and despite valiant efforts and endlessly spraying or spreading solutions, you’ll usually find them growing back with a vengeance. Ground coverings are a great alternative to the usual methods and a more natural way of having more control over what’s living in your garden. There are a few reasons why creeping phlox is a perfect plant for this. The first is the way it grows. 

Landscaper Steve Boehme told Wilmington News Journal that it’s a hardy ground covering. Therefore, it can stretch across the ground and surfaces and climb around walls. This essentially “chokes” weeds out, preventing them from popping up in the first place. 

Aesthetically, it’s a much prettier option than homemade and store-bought weed-killing solutions. Its leaves remain evergreen year-round, and when the flowers bloom, their petals are bold and bright. This “blanket” or “carpet” of flowers is an instant way to add color to the soil or the structural features of your outdoor area.
