Anthemis maritima, also known as sea chamomile, is a versatile and hardy groundcover, perfect for those looking for a low-maintenance groundcover solution in hot and coastal climates. Thanks to its ability to adapt to poor and sandy soils, it enriches the garden with its natural beauty and its extraordinary ability to withstand adverse conditions.

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

Anthemis maritima thrives in sunny environments, on well-drained, poor, sandy soils, and tolerates both drought and salt spray well. These characteristics make it ideal for coastal, Mediterranean, and rocky gardens, as well as for covering slopes and borders. It is also suitable for growing in pots and planters to beautify terraces and balconies.

Anthemis maritima is a versatile and hardy plant, ideal for pairing with other varieties. To add colour and vibrancy, it can be paired with flowering ground covers such as Lippia nodiflora, with its lilac and white flowers, Erigeron karvinskianus, with its small pink and white flowers, or Verbena hybrida, which offers a colourful and dynamic display. Other hardy ground covers, such as fragrant and flowering Thymus serpyllum, pink-flowered Frankenia laevis, and robust and aromatic Achillea crithmifolia, complete the combinations. Don't forget that a varied lawn tends to be more resilient and adaptable!

As with most lawn alternatives, the best time to plant Anthemis maritima is in early autumn. This timing allows you to make the most of the water provided by the approaching rainy season, although planting in spring is also suitable for the seedlings to grow evenly. If you plant the lawn in spring, you will need to allow for a few extra waterings during the first summer to support the seedlings as they establish.

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

While the lawn is establishing, it will need to be watered infrequently but with plenty of water. You should assess the watering needs of Anthemis maritima during this initial stage, ensuring that the soil is completely dry at a depth of 8–10 cm.

After the lawn’s first year, watering may be limited to once (or at most twice) a year. As for maintaining the Anthemis maritima, we recommend mowing two to six times a year.

Anthemis maritima is sold in 60-cell trays. For optimal coverage, we recommend a density of 10 plants per square meter, so each tray is designed to cover 6 m².

You can achieve the area you need by combining 6 m² trays and half trays of 3 m² (30 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 watering and maintenance by 80%. It is not an aesthetic compromise: it is a more beautiful, more vibrant lawn that is kinder to the environment.
