Abstract/Contents:"A study was conducted to quantify the ability of several herbaceous perennial groundcover species to compete with weeds during the first two years of establishment. Twenty-two groundcover species were planted in the field in September 2000. An additional twenty-two species were planted May 2002. Each of the species was submitted to three weed management regimes: (1) maintaining plots completely free of weeds by hand weeding throughout the growing season; (2) maintaining plots by hand weeding for the first half of the first growing season; and (3) performing no hand weeding at all. The percent cover of the crop and of the weeds, the light transmittance through the crop canopy, and the amount of time needed to hand weed the plots were measured during each of the two-year periods. The species evaluated in the first planting were: Achillea tomentosa `King Edward', Alchemilla mollis, Arctostaphylos uvaursi `Pt. Reyes', Carex morrowii `Ice Dance', Chrysogonum virginianum `Pierre', Fragaria × `Lipstick', Houstonia serpyllifolia, Hydrangea anomala `Petiolaris', Imperata cylindrica `Red Baron', Lamiastrum galebdolon `Herman's Pride', Liriope muscari `Royal Purple', Liriope spicata `Majestic', Leymus arenarius `Blue Dune', Lysimachia nummulaira `Aurea', Mazus reptans, Nepata × faasseni `Walker's Low', Phlox subulata `Emerald Blue', Sedum reflexum `Blue Spruce', Solidago sphacelata `Golden Fleece', Thymus praecox `Albiflorus', Veronica spicata `Goodness Grows', and Vinca minor. Species evaluated in the second planting were Aubrieta deltoidea, Aurinia saxatilis `Gold Dust', Carex pensylvanica, Cerastium tomentosum, Dianthus deltoides `Brilliant', Erigeron karvinskianus `Blutenmeer', Gypsophilia cerastioides, Heuchera americana `Chocolate Veil', Mentha × piperita, Minuartia verna, Nepeta subsessilis, Oenethera pallida, Phlox stolonifera `Sherwood Purple', Rhus aromatica `Gro Low', Silene uniflora `Maratima', Solidago cutleri, Stachys byzantina, Thymus serpyllum `Suffolk County', Trifolium repens `Atropurpureum', Vaccinium macrocarpon, and Veronica repens. By the end of their second growing season, six species in each of the plantings were outstanding in their ability to cover the ground in both hand weeded and non-hand weeded treatments, in their reduction of light transmittance, and in their ability to suppress weeds. These species were Alchemilla mollis, Leymus arenarius, Liriope spicata, Nepeta × faassenii `Walker's Low', Phlox subulata `Emerald Blue', and Solidago sphacelata `Golden Fleece', Aurinia saxatillis `Gold Dust', Heuchera americana `Chocolate Veil', Mentha × piperita, Nepeta subsessilis, Stachys byzantina, and Thymus serpyllum `Suffolk County'."
