Many gardeners know how weeds in a flower garden can make life difficult.

Aggressive methods cannot be used, as they can accidentally destroy cultivated plants.

But you don't always want to spend your time and energy on weeding. In such cases, there is an extremely simple solution: you just need to plant crops that suppress the growth and development of weeds.

What plants are worth highlighting?

Lilies of the valley

Many people know that these beautiful and delicate flowers are able to overcome any competitors. Therefore, few people can live next to lilies of the valley.

An important point is that flowers like to grow in the shade, which is very convenient. However, remember that lilies of the valley need a decent level of humidity for normal development, notes the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", landscape designer and scientist-agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

Living "carpet"

Flowers of this type simply won't leave weeds a single chance. Thanks to this, the flowerbed will look well-groomed and aesthetically pleasing.

But also do not forget that the "carpet" itself can turn into a weed, so it is necessary to periodically carry out procedures to prevent this possibility.

You can pay attention to periwinkle, isotoma and loosestrife.

Mint

This plant will look good both in the garden and among flowers. Mint will not only prevent weeds from taking over the territory, but will also protect plants from some pests.

The advantage of mint is that the herb does not require special care.
