Rapid adoption

In bloom from April to October

Does not attract bees

Walkable and moderately passable by vehicles

One of the possible combinations for our lawn alternatives is Verbena hybrida with Achillea crithmifolia. Don't forget that a variegated lawn tends to be more resistant and adaptable!

Verbena x hybrida is an evergreen groundcover with beautiful purple flowers. This creeping Verbena will create a highly walkable lawn with a striking effect.

Achillea crithmifolia is a perennial evergreen groundcover with soft, velvety grey-green leaves. Versatile in combinations and very cold-hardy, this silvery carpet will add a refined touch to your garden.

Our lawns save over 80% of the irrigation and maintenance required for a traditional lawn. Try it to believe it!

Verbena hybrida is closely related to another lawn alternative, Lippia nodiflora: like it, it loves full sun exposures, and is also highly salt-tolerant and resistant to heavy foot traffic (it can even withstand moderate vehicle traffic!).

Compared to its “cousin” Lippia nodiflora, however, Verbena hybrida offers two major advantages:

  • Verbena hybrida does not attract bees: you can enjoy a flowering lawn that is safe to walk on barefoot or let young children and dogs run freely on.
  • Verbena hybrida is an evergreen groundcover, ensuring an attractive lawn in every season.

Like all grey-leaved plants, Achillea crithmifolia is highly resistant to low temperatures. As an evergreen groundcover, it will keep your garden looking attractive even in quite cold weather.

Another common characteristic of all grey-leaved plants (and therefore Achillea crithmifolia as well) is that they do not tolerate waterlogging. Choose well-drained soil where it can enjoy at least half a day of full sun, and you will be rewarded with an exceptionally elegant, densely textured silver carpet.

If you plan to plant Achillea crithmifolia under a tree, make sure it is tall enough to allow sufficient light to reach the Achillea: low trees tend to cast dense shade that makes it difficult for moisture to evaporate, which is not ideal for Achillea crithmifolia.

The best time to plant the Verbena hybrida - Achillea crithmifolia 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 suitable for the harmonious growth of the seedlings. If you plant the lawn in spring, you will simply need to allow for a little extra watering during the first summer to support the seedlings as they establish.

By following our recommended planting density of 10 seedlings per square metre), the lawn will fill in evenly within 8–12 months.

During the establishment phase, the lawn will need to be watered infrequently but with abundant amounts of water. The frequency of watering during this initial phase should be assessed independently, ensuring that the soil is completely dry at a depth of 8–10 cm.

Once the lawn’s first year has passed, watering can be limited to once (or at most twice) a year. As for maintenance, we recommend mowing 2 to 6 times a year.

For optimal coverage, we recommend a density of 10 plants per square meter, so each tray is designed to cover different sizes with this density.

You can create the size you need by choosing from the different combinations offered. The 6 m² tray (60 plants) contains 30 Verbena hybrida plants and 30 Achillea crithmifolia plants. Remember that for areas over 100 m², we provide custom quotes tailored to your needs!

WHAT IS AN ALTERNATIVE LAWN

Save Time and Water

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.

Customer Reviews

Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 27 reviews.

Felice! Ho ordinato circa 300 piantine per creare un prato alternativo. La spedizione da l’Italia al Portogallo è durata 5 giorni dal momento di ordinazione e tutto è arrivato senza problemi. Già dopo una settimana si vedono le piantine che stanno crescendo. Non vedo l’ora di avere tutto coperto. Sono molto molto contenta!

Spedizione veloce e tutto è stato reso semplice e pratico da piantare grazie alle dettagliate istruzioni e all'assistenza su whatsapp. Ho piantato il mio prato ad aprile e nonostante le alte temperature le piantine hanno retto bene .

Prato fiorito. Dopo un anno dalla messa a dimora delle piantine di verbena ibrida e di achillea, ho un prato con un fitto manto erboso e completamente fiorito. Veramente bello! Mai annaffiato d’estate e tagliato solo un paio di volte.

Prato Mix di Verbena hybrida e Achillea crithmifolia

mix di verbena hybrida…che soddisfa. Ho acquistato un mix di verbena hybrida e achillea crithmifolia speranzoso di tappezzare parte del mio giardino assolato, in pendenza con terreno povero ed argilloso in modo da risolvere diversi problemi. Ad un anno circa dall'impianto le piantine hanno praticamente ricoperto la porzione di giardino in cui le ho collocate. Ho avuto una riduzione degli sfalci che in pendenza erano assai scomodi, un consumo inferiore di acqua ed anche una discreta fioritura che ha abbellito il tutto. Ora sto pensando di ampliare la copertura su in altra porzione. Molto soddisfatto.

Marino B. 5/5

Prato Mix di Verbena hybrida e Achillea crithmifolia

impianto perfetto! Lo scorso ottobre ho piantato un pratino misto di verbena e achillea in una parte del giardino dove di solito ho difficoltà a veder crescere l'erba. In pochi mesi e nonostante il periodo invernale, entrambe le specie sono cresciute e il manto in alcuni punti è già quasi chiuso. Certamente le condizioni meteo sono state adatte, con un inverno piovoso e mite, ma ho la sensazione che queste piantine siano resistenti e con una buona adattabilità. Adesso non vedo l'ora che spunti la fioritura della verbena.

Ottima esperienza di acquisto. Botanical è stata sempre pronta e veloce nel darmi consigli sulle piantine più adatte al mio caso. Adesso attendo che crescano. Se posso fare un annotazione le piante sono arrivate in ottimo stato, belline e robuste forse un po sottodimensionate.

Alessio C. 4/5 Verified

Prato Mix di Verbena hybrida e Achillea crithmifolia

Da provare. Salve, ho acquistato 2 tipologie di piantine; Achellea e Verbenia Hybrida, suggerite da un amico che lavora nel settore. Dopo la preparazione suggerita da Ilaria ho messo a dimora le piantine, 9 per mq. Irrigo secondo le istruzioni. Attendo la primavera per vedere il risultato e nel caso fare un secondo trapianto. L'unica nota negativa, il prezzo, mi sembra alto.

Grazie alla disponibilità del titolare ho potuto scegliere il meglio per il mio prato. Persona squisita e molto disponibile nel risolvere ogni problematica o dubbi

Daniela S. 5/5 Verified

Prato Mix di Verbena hybrida e Achillea crithmifolia

Un po’ delusa. Ho ordinato Verbena e Achillea…Piante arrivate dopo 6 giorni dalla spedizione. Imballate bene, ma purtroppo la Verbena era in pessime condizioni, molte piantine erano praticamente solo radice, la parte verde era secca, comunque le ho piantare. Confido nel fatto che sono piante forti e che per la prossima primavera/ estate avrò un bel prato. . la Achillea invece è arrivata in condizioni perfette, probabilmente è una pianta più forte rispetto all’altra.
