Dymondia margaretae is an alternative to lawn with a discreet and very distinctive appearance. It will always remain very low and form a dense carpet capable of keeping weeds at bay, in addition to brightening your summers with its delightful yellow flowers.

Our lawns use over 80% less water and maintenance than a traditional lawn. Try it to believe it!

Dymondia margaretae loves exposure to full sun and well-drained soils. It grows more slowly than other alternative lawn plants, but your patience will be well rewarded: it is a groundcover that over time will tend to spread over large areas without being hindered by uneven or sloping ground.

Its height reaches a maximum of 4 cm, making it the ideal lawn for those with little time to devote to garden maintenance. It tolerates drought very well and is also salt-tolerant, making it suitable for particularly hot climates or coastal areas. Dymondia margaretae is also the ideal choice for those looking for a groundcover suitable for a Mediterranean rock garden.

Dymondia is a lawn plant that generally works very well on its own. Not only is it very different from other varieties of alternative lawn plants from an aesthetic point of view, but given its tendency to remain very low, it would almost inevitably be “overgrown” by the exuberance of lawn plants such as Lippia nodiflora or Verbena hybrida. Our advice is to reserve well-defined areas of your garden for Dymondia and give it the necessary time to form its beautiful green-silver carpet.

As with most of our groundcovers, the best time to plant a Dymondia margaretae lawn is in early autumn. This is because you can make the most of the water provided by the approaching rainy season, although planting in spring is also suitable for the even growth of the young plants. If you plant the lawn in spring, you will need to allow for a little extra watering during the first summer to support the young plants as they establish.

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

While the lawn is establishing, it should be watered infrequently but thoroughly. The watering frequency of Dymondia margaretae during this initial stage should be assessed independently, ensuring that the soil is completely dry at a depth of 8–10 cm.

After the lawn is one year old, watering can be limited to once (or at most twice) a year. As for the maintenance of Dymondia margaretae, we recommend mowing 2 to 4 times a year.

Dymondia 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 cover 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.
