Groundcover of Vinca major. 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.
A non-native invasive in North America, Glechoma is familiar to a large number of people as a weed, a property it shares with many others of the mint family.
