Small white flowers with a slight pink tinge bloom between spring and summer. It has a creeping habit, making it ideal for quickly covering large areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCHARACTERISTICS OF FALKIA REPENS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFalkia repens prefers sunny or partially shaded positions. It adapts well to well-drained, low-fertility soils, but also grows in sandy soils. It is tolerant of heat and drought, but does not like prolonged frosts, making it perfect for coastal areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFalkia repens is ideal as a groundcover for covering slopes or hard-to-reach areas. It is a great alternative to traditional lawns thanks to its low maintenance requirements, and it is perfect for rock gardens, borders, and spaces between paving. It tolerates moderate foot traffic, making it suitable for frequently visited gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFalkia repens\u003c\/strong\u003e pairs perfectly with various other groundcovers, creating a varied and resilient lawn. Among the grey-leaved plants, \u003cstrong\u003eDymondia margaretae\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAchillea crithmifolia\u003c\/strong\u003e add elegant contrasts. For vibrant flowers, \u003cstrong\u003eVerbena hybrida\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eLippia nodiflora\u003c\/strong\u003e offer colour and resilience. \u003cspan class=\"testoprati\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: Montserrat; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: IT; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003eThymus serpyllum\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eFrankenia laevis\u003c\/strong\u003e, meanwhile, enrich the garden with fragrances and delicate pink shades, adapting even to difficult soils such as saline ones. Don't forget that a varied lawn tends to be more resilient and adaptable!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePLANTING AND MAINTENANCE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best time to plant Falkia repens 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 young 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 young plants as they establish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy following our recommended planting density (10 plants per square metre), the Falkia repens lawn will close uniformly within 8–12 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the establishment phase, the lawn will need to be watered infrequently but with abundant amounts of water. The \u003cstrong\u003ewatering of Falkia repens\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 Falkia repens\u003c\/strong\u003e, we recommend mowing 2 to 6 times a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSALES OF FALKIA REPENS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFalkia repens 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).
