Groundcover or ground cover is any plant that grows low over an area of ground, which protects the topsoil from erosion and drought.In a terrestrial ecosystem, the ground cover forms the layer of vegetation below the shrub layer known as the herbaceous layer, and provides habitats and concealments for (especially fossorial) terrestrial fauna.
C. radicans is a vine that climbs on trees, other plants, or structures or trails along the ground and can grow to a length of up to 10 metres (33 feet). From the main vine, rigid or woody arching vines up to 2 metres (7 feet) long extend outward. The plant can form a dense groundcover or an aggressive liana covering plants
The plant itself remains a ground cover for the duration of its life (45–60 cm), forming massive bushes rather quickly. The aroma of the plant has been said to resemble cannabis or skunk . [ 3 ] [ 4 ] They bloom twice a year, in late summer and in late winter.
Madder is mentioned in the Talmud (e.g., tractate Sabbath 66b) where the madder plant is termed "puah" in Aramaic.
