4 Tray Treneague Chamomile Ground Cover Lawn Replacement Kit

Ever considering killing your lawn for a more earth-friendly option? This kill your lawn groundcover kit includes 512 young plants, which you can plant at a spacing of 4-6" (closer spacing = faster coverage, wider spacing = more economical/more sqft covered, but takes longer to fill in). A spacing of 4" will cover 57 sqft, a spacing of 6" will cover 128 sqft. This new eco lawn will require no mowing, no fertilizer or herbicide, and is drought tolerant once established.

Treneague Chamomile is ideal as a lawn replacement. This is a non-flowering perennial Chamomile, and it's growth habit makes it a more manicured lawn-like option for a seamless lawn-replacement. When stepped on, it has a delicate sweet apple scent. The soft foliage, sweet scent, and low even growth habit make this the ideal lawn replacement for shade to part-shade yards. Chamomile has the additional benefit of enriching the soil as it grows. Make sure to water regularly and avoid walking on your new lawn for 12 weeks after planting, but once it is established it will be very drought tolerant and can withstand moderate foot traffic.

Includes 512 young plant starts, each plant is about 3/4" in diameter and 1" deep. The plant height is usually about 1/2." Because with this volume of young plants sometimes there are some empty cells or plants that are damaged in transit, we only charge for 500 plants to account for the possibility that some of the plants may be duds. When planning your lawn, count on 500 plants to play it safe!

Growing Info

How to Plant	Remove existing weeds, grass, and plants in your new planting area (this can be done by smothering the area or turning it over). Now tuck your plant in so the base of the stem is even with the top of the hole, and give the soft ground around the base of your small plant a few solid pats to compress the soil onto the roots, and a long, gentle drink of water
Where to Plant	Find a place that gets mostly shade, or part sun
When to Plant	Avoid the heat of the day when planting — plant in the early morning, late afternoon, or by the light of the moon. Plant outside after your average last frost in the spring, or in the fall
When to Expect Blooms	We're here for the foliage. This variety of Chamomile does not flower
Care Instructions	Water regularly during the first season, and avoid foot traffic for the first 12 weeks or so to give the plants a chance to get established. Weed in the spring to make sure the weeds aren't competing with the Chamomile. Once your Chamomile lawn is established, it does not need additional water, herbicides, fertilizer, water, or mowing
Extra Credit	Treneague Chamomile can be divided once it starts to thrive, to encourage it to cover an even greater area. It also naturally enriches the soil, so it works as it's own fertilizer!
