In landscaping, the term ground covers usually refers to any one of a group of low-lying plants with a creeping, spreading habit that are used to cover sections of ground while requiring minimal maintenance.
It could be some form of a low-growing ornamental perennial plant, but there are also some creeping shrubs that can serve this function, as well as ornamental grasses or self-seeding annuals.
However, ground cover plants are often chosen for aesthetic considerations, to beautiful an area of ground, or to choke out weeds. Some are chosen for practical purposes - to cover ground that are shaded and where turf grass does not thrive.
Ground covers which are ornamental perennial plants also make good edges.
