Between May and June, it is covered with pale pink flowers, and for the rest of the year, it retains a dense emerald-green carpet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCHARACTERISTICS OF FRANKENIA LAEVIS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong our alternative groundcovers, Frankenia laevis is by far the most adaptable in terms of light exposure: it thrives equally well in full sun and in shadier areas. It is ideal for filling the gaps between the joints of paths and walkways, as it will always remain very low and will not overgrow the paving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrankenia laevis is also one of the hardiest groundcovers in low temperatures: it can withstand temperatures down to -15°C! Although it is not an evergreen, this groundcover will surprise you in extremely cold weather: its tiny leaves will take on a distinctive reddish colour that will add a unique touch to your garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs for possible combinations, Frankenia laevis pairs very well with Verbena hybrida and Achillea crithmifolia. Remember that a varied groundcover tends to be more resistant and adaptable!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePLANTING AND MAINTENANCE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with most alternative groundcovers, the best time to plant Frankenia laevis is in early autumn. This allows you to make the most of the water provided by the approaching rainy season, although planting in spring is also suitable for the harmonious growth of the plants. If you plant the groundcover in spring, you will 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 Frankenia groundcover will form a uniform cover within 8–12 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the establishment phase, the groundcover will need to be watered infrequently but with abundant water. The frequency of \u003cstrong\u003ewatering Frankenia laevis\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 groundcover has been established for one year, watering can be limited to once (or at most twice) a year. As for the \u003cstrong\u003emaintenance of Frankenia laevis\u003c\/strong\u003e, we recommend cutting it 2 to 4 times a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFRANKENIA LAEVIS FOR SALE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrankenia laevis 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 achieve the area you need by combining 6 m² trays and half trays of 3 m² (30 plants).
