Korean Velvet Grass (Zoysia Tenuifolia)

<img src="">

Slow growing at 20cm a year. But quite hardy, drought/acid tolerant and fine with shade. Makes these interesting clumps. A bit expensive.

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

<img src=""/> <img src="" width="%15"/> <img src=""/>

Low growing verities. Less than 1/2 and inch high. Flowers.

No mowing, fertilizing, thatching or watering. Drought tolerant. Bees. Light foot traffic.

thymegarden.com Infos

• "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)

<img src=""/> <img src=""/>

Probably want the Arenaria alfacariensis species. Seems smaller.

Various species

brass buttons (Leptinella squalida)

<img src=""/>

Corsican Mint

<img src="" width="30%"/>

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
• Is this what mum is already growing?

Maybe not a 'lawn' but want some.
