One of our favorite combinations of our lawn alternatives is that of the Verbena hybrida with the Lippia nodiflora. Don't forget that a variegated lawn tends to be more resistant and adaptable!
Lippia nodiflora is a perennial groundcover very suitable for full sun exposures. From April to October it produces small white flowers, the variety is "Canescens", special because it does not grow beyond 5/10 cm in height. It has good resistance to salt spray and heavy foot traffic, and is even moderately driveable. Among the alternative lawns it is the only melliferous one, so it attracts a lot of bees, although mixed with other varieties this effect is reduced.
Verbena x hybrida is an evergreen groundcover with very beautiful purple flowers. This creeping Verbena will make a very walkable lawn with a great effect.
Verbena hybrida is an evergreen, while Lippia nodiflora in winter tends to brown and thin out a little’. In case of severe frosts it can go into dormancy, in spring it will bloom again more beautiful than before.
Our lawns allow you to save over 80% of the irrigation and maintenance required for a traditional lawn. Try to believe!

DESCRIPTION OF VERBENA HYBRIDA
Verbena hybrida is a very beautiful and resistant groundcover. Its flower with an intense purple color will give an extremely scenic touch to your garden, allowing you to have a flowering lawn for a good part of the year without having to invest a fortune in terms of irrigation and maintenance.
CHARACTERISTICS OF VERBENA HYBRIDA
Verbena hybrida is a close relative of another lawn alternative, the Lippia nodiflora: like it, it is very fond of full sun exposures, in addition to being very resistant to salt spray and heavy foot traffic (it is even moderately driveable!).
Compared to its “cousin” Lippia nodiflora, however, Verbena hybrida has two important advantages:
Verbena hybrida does not attract bees: you can have a flowering lawn to walk on comfortably barefoot or let small children or dogs run freely on.
Verbena hybrida is an evergreen groundcover, a feature that will guarantee you a pleasant lawn in every season.
DESCRIPTION OF LIPPIA NODIFLORA
Lippia nodiflora, also called Phyla nodiflora, is a perennial groundcover with small white flowers. The one we propose here is Lippia nodiflora 'Canescens', a special variety that does not grow beyond 5/10 cm in height. It is therefore a flowering lawn capable of giving great satisfaction without the need to shoulder too much maintenance work.
CHARACTERISTICS OF LIPPIA NODIFLORA
Lippia nodiflora is a verbenaceae groundcover very suitable for full sun exposures. It has good resistance to salt spray and heavy foot traffic, and is even moderately driveable. Among the alternative lawns it is (along with Lippia nodiflora var. non canescens) the only melliferous one, so it attracts a lot of bees: a lawn of Lippia can be a small concrete act to give a hand to the ecosystem.
Compared to Lippia nodiflora var. non canescens this variety stays lower, since it reaches a maximum height of 5 cm (a little more counting also the flowering).
Lippia nodiflora gives excellent results in combination with Verbena hybrida, a verbenaceae “cousin”. Mixing these two varieties you can obtain a truly stunning white-purple palette. Verbena hybrida is an evergreen, while Lippia nodiflora in winter tends to brown and thin out a little’. In case of severe frosts it can go into dormancy, but do not worry: in spring it will bloom again more beautiful than before!
PLANTING AND MAINTENANCE
The best time for the planting of the Verbena hybrida - Lippia nodiflora mix is early autumn. This choice is dictated by the possibility of making the most of the water supply given by the imminent rainy season, but a spring planting is equally valid for a harmonious growth of the seedlings. By planting the lawn in spring it will be sufficient to plan for a few more irrigations during the first summer, so as to support the seedlings in the rooting phase.
Respecting the planting density we recommend (10 seedlings for every square meter) the lawn will close uniformly in the course of 8/12 months.
In the rooting phase the lawn will need to be irrigated rarely but with abundant quantities of water. The frequency of irrigation in this first phase will be evaluated independently, ensuring that the soil is completely dry at 8/10 cm depth.
Once the first year of life of the lawn has passed, irrigations can be limited to one (maximum two) in the whole year. As for maintenance, our advice is instead to perform from 2 to 6 mowings in the course of the year.
SALE OF THE MIX
For an optimal coverage we recommend a density of 10 seedlings per square meter, so each tray is designed to cover the different sizes with this density.
You can compose the size you need by choosing among the different combinations proposed. The tray of 6 sq m (60 seedlings), contains 30 seedlings of Verbena hybrida and 30 seedlings of Lippia nodiflora. Remember that for sizes above 100 sq m we make custom quotes for your needs!

How to calculate the square footage of your lawn
All you need is a tape measure and five minutes. Here’s how to figure out how many square meters (m²) you need for your lawn.
1. Measure the area to cover
Rectangle or square: length × width. Example: 5 m × 4 m = 20 m².
Triangle: base × height ÷ 2. Example: 6 m × 3 m ÷ 2 = 9 m².
Round flowerbed: radius × radius × 3.14. Example: 2 m radius → 2 × 2 × 3.14 = 12.5 m².
2. Irregularly shaped garden?
Divide it into rectangles and triangles, calculate each section, and add the results together. Then subtract areas that do not need to be planted: paths, patios, pools, and shrub beds.
3. Tools to help you
Tape measure or measuring wheel: the most accurate method, preferably with two people.
Google Maps on a computer: right-click on the garden → "Measure distance", then click along the edge until you close the shape. Google will show you the area in m².
Phone measurement app: iPhones have "Measure", and on Android you can find measurement apps that use the camera. Great for a quick estimate.
House floor plan: it often already includes the garden measurements.
By pacing it out: an adult step measures about 0.75 m. Useful for an initial calculation, but check it with a tape measure afterward.
4. Round up
Add an extra 5–10% for edges, curves, and small measurement errors. Then choose the next larger size or combine multiple sizes.
Example: 7 × 3 m garden = 21 m², minus a 1 × 3 m path = 18 m². With an extra 10%, you get about 20 m²: choose 24 m² or combine 12 + 6 + 3 m².

Verbena hybrida is closely related to another lawn alternative, Lippia nodiflora: like it, it loves full sun, and is also highly salt-tolerant and resistant to heavy foot traffic (it is even moderately driveable!).
Compared to its “cousin” Lippia nodiflora, however, Verbena hybrida has two major advantages:
Verbena hybrida does not attract bees: you can have a flowering lawn that you can walk on barefoot or let young children and dogs run freely on.
Verbena hybrida is an evergreen groundcover, ensuring a pleasant lawn in every season.
Lippia nodiflora is a groundcover verbenaceae that is very well suited to full sun. It is quite salt-tolerant and resistant to heavy foot traffic, and is even moderately driveable. Among alternative lawns, it is (along with Lippia nodiflora var. non canescens) the only one that produces nectar, so it attracts many bees: a Lippia lawn can be a small, practical way to help the ecosystem.
Compared to Lippia nodiflora var. non canescens, this variety stays lower, as it reaches a maximum height of 5 cm (just over that if you include the flowers).
Lippia nodiflora produces excellent results when planted with Verbena hybrida, a verbenaceae “cousin.” Mixing these two varieties creates a truly stunning white-and-purple color palette. Verbena hybrida is an evergreen, while Lippia nodiflora tends to turn brownish and thin out a little in winter. In the event of severe frosts, it may enter dormancy, but don’t worry: in spring it will bloom again, more beautiful than ever!
The best time to plant the Verbena hybrida - Lippia nodiflora mix is in early autumn. This choice is dictated by the possibility of making the most of the water supply provided by the approaching rainy season, but spring planting is equally valid for the harmonious growth of the seedlings.

Treat yourself to a wildflower lawn that requires very little water and maintenance!
A traditional lawn is a fragile monoculture: it drinks thousands of liters of water every summer, needs mowing every week, and turns yellow as soon as you neglect it. An alternative lawn turns this logic on its head: instead of grasses, we use Mediterranean groundcovers selected in our nursery—low-growing, dense, and hardy plants born for hot, dry climates.
The result is a green, walkable carpet that blooms for months, withstands drought, salt spray, and frost, and reduces irrigation and maintenance by 80%. It is not an aesthetic compromise: it is a more beautiful, more vibrant lawn that is kinder to the environment.

Prima esperienza in un piccolo giardino di circa 20 mq. Ottimo attecchimento e rapidità di crescita nonostante assenza totale di precipitazioni. Qualche difficoltà nel competere con Dichondra nata spontaneamente

Ottima scelta, molto soddisfatta. Le piantine, nonostante le abbia messe a dimora troppo avanti nella stagione, considerato anche il caldo di quest’estate, hanno superato benissimo questa stagione estrema appena passata. Ora che le temperature notturne, qui dove abito, si aggirano da 10gg circa, intorno ai 20 gradi, sia la verbena che la lippia sono fiorite tutte! L’anno venturo per tempo comprerò un ultra plateau per accelerare il tappezzamento della zona interessata.
Spedizione rapida e piantine in ottimo stato. Nonostante le abbia messe a dimora troppo avanti nella stagione, considerato anche il caldo di quest’estate, hanno superato benissimo questo stress test. Ora che le temperature notturne, qui dove abito, si aggirano da 10gg circa, intorno ai 20 gradi, sia la verbena che la lippia sono fiorite tutte! L’anno venturo per tempo comprerò un altro plateau per accelerare il tappezzamento della zona interessata.
I due pacchi di Lippia nodiflora e Verbania Hybrida sono arrivati a Napoli in perfette condizioni in meno di 24 h , con Poste italiane. Seguendo i preziosi consigli di Ilaria le piantine hanno aspettato cinque giorni prima della partenza con la mia macchina e sono arrivate in perfette condizioni sull’isola dopo 12 ore di viaggio in nave e quindi piantate nell’area preparata del mio giardino. Ho coperto con Le piantine una superficie inferiore di quella prospettata posizionando comunque le due varietà con una buona armonia . Innaffiatura abbondante, ripetuta dopo quindici giorni. Al momento le piantine sono tutte vive e vegete …
Assistenza sempre disponibile. Ho appena piantato le piantine, dunque troppo presto per vedere o risultati. Però ho trovato personale gentile e disponibile a rispondere a tutte le mie domande
Che posso dire? Le piantine di verbena e Lippia che ho interrato lo scorso autunno sono cresciute tantissimo e soprattutto stanno tappezzando tutto il mio pezzo di giardino. Era quello che volevo! Azienda fantastica, comprerò ancora appena sistemerò gli altri 2 pezzi di terreno
Ottima esperienza. Ho acquistato un set di piantine di verbena hybida e di lippa nordiflora var. canescens nel mese di novembre. Imballo e spedizione perfetta. A oggi dopo quasi 5 mesi le piantine sono tutte in splendida forma e si stanno espandendo. Sono stato seguito in maniera gentile e preparata in questi mesi con consigli e informazioni utili. Consigliato!
Ho acquistato La Verbena hibrida e la Lippia Nordiflora. Imballaggio perfetto, le piantine già abbastanza grandi e freschissime. Anche il panetto era ben umido. Ho piantato il giorno dopo perché arrivate nel pomeriggio, ora spero che non arrivi troppo freddo e che riescano ad attecchire bene prima dell'inverno
Ho effettuato un secondo acquisto. Le piante di lippia si sono adattate bene anche se il terreno in divesi punti è molto secco e duro. Ho acquistato anche la verbena ibrida che spero riesca a crescere bene. Le piantine sono arrivate velocissime. La lippia aveva lunghi rametti che si erano intrecciati fra se e quindi ho dovuto prestare molta attenzione al momento del trapianto. Nel complesso sono molto soddisfatta.
Professionali e ottimi prodotti. Molto professionali, puntuali e prodotti (ottimi) e come descritti. Ho piantumato una parte di prato in Lippia e Verbena. Ottimo!!
Ottime soluzioni per terreni difficili. Ho acquistato i plateau di Lippia nodiflora e di Verbena, a distanza di un anno ne ho prese ancora per altre parti del giardino: avevo bisogno di coprire una scarpata di terreno argilloso, le piantine si sono radicate benissimo e hanno coperto tutta l’area, è bastato inserirle in piccole buchette e spargere un po’ di terra nuova sopra il fondo di argilla, difficile da lavorare proprio perché scosceso. Non è il metodo di impianto più ortodosso, il terreno non è stato lavorato, ma il risultato è stato davvero ottimale, sia dal punto di vista estetico che da quello del contrasto all’erosione. Uno stress-test che credo attesti la validità della soluzione e la qualità delle colture. Azienda consigliatissima, a cui ricorrerò ancora volentieri.
Esperienza in corso. Ho contattato l'azienda e mi hanno dato ottimi consigli su come sperimentare l'impianto di verbena hybrida e lippia nodiflora nel mio giardino a La Maddalena, Sardegna. Le abbiamo piantate ad ottobre, circa 60 piantine di prova, e andiamo periodicamente a controllare la crescita, in modo da valutare se fare tutto il giardino. Azienda molto disponibile ad esaminare le foto per valutare i progressi, ottimo servizio!!!
Buona esperienza da verificare nel tempo. La consegna delle piantine è stata puntualissima. Le piantine di verbena hanno attecchito molto bene, mentre la lippia stenta ad attecchire. Aspetto la primavera per verificare come vanno effettivamente le cose
Le piante sono arrivate nei tempi indicati. Avevo preso un plateau di verbena hybrida (30 piantine) e uno di lippia nodiflora (30 piantine): la lippia è arrivata perfetta e con piantine folte. Dopo la piantagione ha attecchito subito; la verbena è arrivata sana ma con piantine molto diradate e con pochissime radici per cui dopo la piantagione, nonostante l'irrigazione, mi è morta quasi tutta.
Una valida alternativa al prato. Ho comprato alcune piante di Lippia e Verbena per rifare una porzione di prato. Le piante sono attaccate tutte, ora aspettiamo la primavera per vederle fiorite
Finalmente il prato alternativo. Dopo averlo tanto desiderato, ho finalmente ordinato il mio prato alternativo di Lippia e verbena! Devo dire che sono rimasta del tutto soddisfatta della cura e delle ottime condizioni in cui ho ricevuto le piantine! Ve lo consiglio vivamente!
Gentili e disponibili, grazie ai loro consigli quest’anno provo a trasformare il mio prato orribile in uno splendido prato di verbena e lippia. Consigliatissimo
Ho ordinato la verbena hybrida e la lippia nodiflora per i primi 12 metri di prato l'anno scorso, per fare una prova. Gia dopo circa 2 mesi dalla messa a dimora il prato era bellissimo, pieno di fiori, coccinelle ed api. Dopo un anno il prato è ben fitto, ha passato bene l'estate con poche innaffiature e è in buona salute anche dopo l'inverno (la lippia in inverno non è bellissima ma sul sito questo era gia spiegato). Per questo ho fatto il secondo ordine la scorsa settimana e oggi ho piantato la verbena hybrida per completare il prato. Ringrazio per la professionalità, la velocità nella spedizione e l'assistenza alle domande.
