Lawn Ideas
General
www.stepables.com This Pinterest
Korean Velvet Grass (Zoysia Tenuifolia)
Slow growing at 20cm a year. But quite hardy, drought/acid tolerant and fine with shade. Makes these interesting clumps. A bit expensive.
- tranquilhavens.com.au - 10x100mm pots = $75 - Inc Shipping - $0.075 per mm²
- Bambooland.com.au - 120mm pots, $4.50 each (10 for $45) - Not including shipping which requires a quote... - $0.0375 per mm² (plus unknown shipping costs)
- Ebay - 10x140mm - $90 inc shipping. $0.0642 per mm²
Dwarf Mondo Grass
Ophiopogon japonicus 'Nanus'
Might not be so good for heavy foot traffic areas. But does well in shade (under lemon tree?).
TranquilHeavens.com.au - 50 plants for $32. 100 for $45. inc postage.
Thyme
Low growing verities. Less than 1/2 and inch high. Flowers.
No mowing, fertilizing, thatching or watering. Drought tolerant. Bees. Light foot traffic.
- "Since cross pollination is a concern with thyme, it is very uncommon to find seeds for low-growing varieties like Elfin Thyme or Wooly Thyme which will be propagated by cuttings"
- "we do offer four varieties of thyme by seed that will show uniform traits: Mother of Thyme, Creeping Thyme, Magic Carpet Thyme, and Mixed Creeping Thyme."
drought-smart-plants.com Infos
- "Some of the best types of thyme for a thyme lawn are Thymus serpyllum 'Elfin' (Elfin thyme), Thymus coccineus (Red Creeping thyme) and Thymus pseudolanuginosus (Wooly thyme)."
- "I had no luck germinating thyme seeds last year. Cuttings are the normal way to propagate it. Seed might work if you have better controlled conditions than I did."
Arenaria (Sandwort)
Probably want the Arenaria alfacariensis species. Seems smaller.
brass buttons (Leptinella squalida)
Corsican Mint
Probably not great for a lawn and needs water. But I want some anyway. Seems like Babies Tears.
Houttuynia Cordata / Chameleon Plant / Fish Mint
- Comes in a variegated variety.
- Edible, used to treat conditions like hypertension
- Probably too big for a real lawn alternative
- Invasive
Knawel Cushion
Maybe not a 'lawn' but want some.
Other Things
Pink Muhly Grass
Tall pink stuff.
Bassia scoparia
Small bright green bushes that turn red.
In NSW the parent species is a weed. Except- "The subspecies Bassia scoparia subspecies trichophylla (commonly known as summer cypress or burning bush) is not declared, and can still be found in older gardens. "
