What Groundcover Will Flourish While Using Mulch Cloth?
I planted some groundcover (Periwinkle, Creeping Phlox and Red Sedum), then a month later put down some mulch cloth because grass continued growing through the mulch. Now I am concerned that the groundcover will not spread with the cloth in place. Any one know? Thanks

I have the cloth under all my gardens and after a year or so the mulch begins to compost and eventually you will have an inch or more of soil above the cloth and anything will grow (this is both good and bad). So the ground covers will spread but slowly because it needs the soil. Maybe try vinca, its tough and spreads easily and also produces the purple flowers.
The groundcover has nowhere to spread. When you saw the grass coming up through the mulch you should have sprayed it with Roundup or another glyphosate product. Groundcover doesn’t spread very well through mulch either, but at least it has a chance. With mulch cloth, it has no chance at all.
They will not spread if they cannot root through the fabric. Try spreading junipers, as they gow along the surface instaed.
