Like regular plants, weeds have to undergo the process of seed germination and require plenty of space to spread.
However, if you plant groundcovers in that space, adequate sunlight won’t be able to reach the weeds anymore, and the dense groundcover growth will limit weed spread.
That’s why this article is so important!
I’m going to show you the 12 best groundcovers to keep weeds away from your garden! Let’s get started!
12 Fast-Growing Groundcovers For Weed Control
12) Creeping Jenny (Lysimachia nummularia)
Creeping jenny plants are known for their unique, round foliage and vibrant, yellow flowers that grab attention due to their simplicity and elegance.

Because creeping jenny is a versatile, hardy groundcover, it can thrive in any USDA Hardiness Zone from 3 to 10.
11) Bugleweed

This groundcover will be fast-growing but also relatively tall. Bugleweed also tends to do well in zones 4-10.
