Question about ground cover and flowers (Zone 6) (lemmy.world)

I'm working on expanding a flower bed that is currently all mulch between the flowers/plants. If I was to replace most of the mulch with a ground-cover plant, would that impact any other flowers/plants from coming up as they grow?

I like the look of a flowering ground-cover over mulch but don't want it stifling any other growth.

Bulbs will come up just fine through a ground cover. Maybe test both ways for a season and see which you and the plants prefer?
