The one we propose here is Lippia nodiflora 'Canescens', a special variety that does not grow beyond 5\/10 cm in height. It is therefore a flowering lawn capable of giving great satisfaction without the need to shoulder too much maintenance work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCHARACTERISTICS OF LIPPIA NODIFLORA\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLippia nodiflora is a verbenaceae groundcover very suitable for full sun exposures. It has good resistance to salt spray and heavy foot traffic, and is even moderately driveable. Among the alternative lawns it is \u003cspan\u003e(along with Lippia nodiflora var. non canescens)\u003c\/span\u003e the only melliferous one, so it attracts a lot of bees: a lawn of Lippia can be a small concrete act to give a hand to the ecosystem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCompared to Lippia nodiflora var. non canescens this variety stays lower, since it reaches a maximum height of 5 cm (a little more counting also the flowering).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLippia nodiflora gives excellent results in combination with Verbena hybrida, a verbenaceae “cousin”. Mixing these two varieties you can obtain a truly stunning white-purple palette. Verbena hybrida is an evergreen, while Lippia nodiflora in winter tends to brown and thin out a little’. In case of severe frosts it can go into dormancy, but do not worry: in spring it will bloom again more beautiful than before!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePLANTING AND MAINTENANCE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best time for the planting of the Verbena hybrida - Lippia nodiflora mix is early autumn. This choice is dictated by the possibility of making the most of the water supply given by the imminent rainy season, but a spring planting is equally valid for a harmonious growth of the seedlings. By planting the lawn in spring it will be sufficient to plan for a few more irrigations during the first summer, so as to support the seedlings in the rooting phase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRespecting the planting density we recommend (10 seedlings for every square meter) the lawn will close uniformly in the course of 8\/12 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the rooting phase the lawn will need to be irrigated rarely but with abundant quantities of water. The frequency of \u003cstrong\u003eirrigation \u003c\/strong\u003ein this first phase will be evaluated independently, ensuring that the soil is completely dry at 8\/10 cm depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the first year of life of the lawn has passed, irrigations can be limited to one (maximum two) in the whole year. As for \u003cstrong\u003emaintenance\u003c\/strong\u003e, our advice is instead to perform from 2 to 6 mowings in the course of the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSALE OF THE MIX \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor an optimal coverage we recommend a density of \u003cstrong\u003e10 seedlings per square meter,\u003c\/strong\u003e so each tray is designed to cover the different sizes with this density.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can compose the size you need by choosing among the different combinations proposed.
