Its stems and the undersides of the leaves are covered with silvery-grey hairs. In spring, the plant is covered with abundant lemon-yellow flowers, round flower heads that create a blanket of bright highlights. The \u003cstrong\u003eyellow flowers of Cotula\u003c\/strong\u003e may reappear in autumn in the milder areas of our country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cotula lineariloba plant consists of slender stems that tend to root when they touch the ground, and this stoloniferous growth allows the plant to spread widely and grow very rapidly. Imagine that each plant can potentially spread to a radius of 50 cm!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCHARACTERISTICS OF COTULA LINEARILOBA\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCotula lineariloba is a \u003cstrong\u003eperennial groundcover\u003c\/strong\u003e, but it is not evergreen in most ecosystems. This plant, native to South Africa, is indeed very fond of warm climates and sensitive to low temperatures. From -5°C, Cotula lineariloba will tend to enter dormancy, but if the temperature does not drop further (or by a few degrees at most), you will see it emerge without problems in spring and return to its full splendour in a short time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCotula loves very sunny locations. It can tolerate light shade, but remember that the more hours of shade there are, the less abundant the \u003cstrong\u003eflowering of Cotula lineariloba\u003c\/strong\u003e will be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you plan to position Cotula lineariloba under a tree, make sure it is tall enough to allow the right amount of light to reach the Cotula: low trees tend to cover the ground with dense shade in which moisture evaporates with difficulty, which is not ideal for Cotula lineariloba. This plant is indeed very fond of light, well-drained soils, and has no problems with calcareous soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCotula lineariloba can easily be combined with other groundcovers. For example, you could create a varied colour palette by pairing it with the striking flowers of Lippia nodiflora and\/or Verbena hybrida, or stick to yellow tones by mixing it with Achillea tomentosa aurea ‘BDG’. Don't forget that a varied lawn tends to be more resistant and adaptable!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePLANTING AND MAINTENANCE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with most lawn alternatives, the best time to plant Cotula lineariloba 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 Cotula lineariloba 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 quantities of water. The frequency of \u003cstrong\u003ewatering Cotula lineariloba\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 once (or at most twice) a year. As for the \u003cstrong\u003emaintenance of Cotula lineariloba\u003c\/strong\u003e, we recommend mowing 2 to 6 times a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCOTULA LINEARILOBA SALES\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCotula lineariloba is sold in trays of 60 cells. For optimal coverage, we recommend a density of 10 plants per square metre, so each tray is designed to cover 6 m².\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can create the area you need by combining 6 m² trays and half trays of 3 m² (30 plants).
