This choice is dictated by the opportunity to make the most of the water supply provided by the approaching rainy season, but spring planting is equally valid for the harmonious growth of the plants. If you plant the lawn in spring, you will simply 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 Thymus ciliatus lawn will close evenly within 8\/12 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the establishment phase, the lawn will need to be watered infrequently but with abundant amounts of water. The frequency of \u003cstrong\u003eThymus ciliatus irrigation\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 lawn has completed its first year, watering can be limited to once (at most twice) a year. As for the \u003cstrong\u003emaintenance of Thymus ciliatus\u003c\/strong\u003e, we recommend mowing 2 to 6 times a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSALES OF THYMUS CILIATUS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThymus ciliatus 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 create the area you need by combining 6 m² trays and half 3 m² trays (30 plants).
