Many gardeners have found out the hard way that one of the most challenging, labor-intensive and costly endeavors in gardening is maintaining a healthy, beautiful lawn. We are proud to offer this exclusive fusion of low-growing, durable ground cover varieties to use in lieu of grass. Our mix contains annual and perennial flowering plants blended with a fine, tufted bunch grass to create a colorful, low-maintenance lawn substitute. None of the varieties will grow taller than 12 inches, so mowing is optional unless you prefer a uniform, tailored appearance. Tolerates light foot traffic. Planting rate: 4 ounces per 1000 square feet; 5-10 pounds per acre. Germination code: (4)
