The variety we offer here is Lippia nodiflora 'Canescens', a special variety that does not grow taller than 5–10 cm. It is therefore a flowering lawn that delivers great results without the need to take on too much maintenance work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCHARACTERISTICS OF LIPPIA NODIFLORA VAR. CANESCENS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLippia nodiflora is a groundcover in the verbena family that is very well suited to full sun. It has good resistance to salt and heavy foot traffic and is even moderately driveable. Among alternative lawns, it is \u003cspan\u003e(along with Lippia nodiflora var. non-canescens)\u003c\/span\u003e the only one that produces nectar, so it attracts many bees: a Lippia lawn can be a small, practical way to help the ecosystem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCompared to Lippia nodiflora var. non-canescens, this variety stays lower, as it reaches a maximum height of 5 cm (just over 10 cm when the flowers are included).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLippia nodiflora produces excellent results when paired with Verbena hybrida, a “cousin” in the verbena family. Mixing these two varieties can create a truly stunning white-purple palette. Verbena hybrida is evergreen, while Lippia nodiflora tends to turn brownish and thin out slightly in winter. In the event of severe frosts, it may enter dormancy, but don't worry: in spring it will flower again, more beautiful than ever!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePLANTING AND MAINTENANCE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best time to plant this \u003cstrong\u003elawn alternative\u003c\/strong\u003e is early autumn. This choice allows you to make the most of the water provided by the approaching rainy season, but spring planting is equally suitable for the harmonious growth of the plants. If you plant the lawn in spring, you will simply need to allow for a few extra waterings during the first summer to support the plants as they establish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy following our recommended planting density (10 plants per square metre), the \u003cstrong\u003eLippia\u003c\/strong\u003e lawn will close evenly within 8–12 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the establishment phase, the lawn will need to be watered infrequently but with abundant water. The frequency of \u003cstrong\u003eLippia watering\u003c\/strong\u003e during this initial phase should be assessed independently, ensuring that the soil is completely dry at a depth of 8–10 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the lawn has been established for one year, watering can be limited to just one (or at most two) time throughout the year. As for \u003cstrong\u003eLippia nodiflora maintenance\u003c\/strong\u003e, we recommend mowing 2 to 6 times a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSALE OF LIPPIA NODIFLORA\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Lippia nodiflora is sold in trays of 84 cells. For optimal coverage, we recommend a density of 10 plants per square metre, so each tray is designed to cover approximately 8 m².\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can achieve the area you need by combining 8 m² trays and half trays of 3.5 m² (36 plants).
