🌱Erosion Control Heroes_ Best Groundcovers for Soil Stability🌱

Ken Lain, the Top 10 Gardener, here! It's time to turn to nature's best groundcovers for soil stability.
Cotoneaster, with its sprawling varieties like Coral Beauty and Cranberry, is perfect for covering large areas quickly. Its robust root system holds the soil, while its white spring flowers and red berries add beauty.
Pair it with Creeping Rosemary, especially the Huntington Carpet variety, for a drought-resistant, evergreen solution.
Don't overlook Junipers like Calgary Carpet, which are hardy and non-allergenic. Trumpet Vine, with its vibrant red flowers, can climb or spread, adding a splash of color and attracting hummingbirds. Lastly, Hall's Honey-suckle, with its aggressive roots and efficient water use, is ideal for both ground cover and climbing.

Thank you!

I am from California, now in northern Arizona. Zone 6B.
I'm curious about the recommendation of honeysuckle for erosion control. Is it not an aggressive, invasive plant? It is in the North Bay area of california. It was known to damage foundations, kill off many other plants, and be very difficult to get rid of .

Yes, it can be aggressive. Planting as an erosion control ground cover would still mean that it would be necessary to keep it contained within the area that is subject to erosion. Easier to whack on it once a year than to deal with silt and soil coming off a side hill.
