[MAIPC] groundcover suggestions

[Kathleen Michels]

My go-to weed smothering assertive native groundcover is senecio (now
packera) aureus- golden groundsel. if you want something really assertive
and taller grass like- chasmanthium - northern sea oats. The later though
is harder to remove if you want others to fill in. It is however probably
better at holding a slope
