How To Start Your Flowering Lawn Journey -- No need to remove grass; simply mow existing grass very short then use the carton to mix the seed packets with the carrier product and spread the flowering lawn seed into the grass evenly using the carton as a spreader, water, and watch it grow! Or dormant seed over fresh snow on a calm day when the ground is frozen.
Better For Your Family & The Environment -- Our specialty flowering lawn seed is kid and pet friendly. It attracts beneficial pollinators while reducing your property's carbon footprint!
Reduce Maintenance Costs -- Sweet Alyssum reduces the need to mow. Once your flowering lawn is established, it won't require watering, except in periods of extended drought.
What To Expect When Using Flawn Seed -- With regular watering, Sweet Alyssum will germinate in 2-3 weeks, and plants will be small for the first couple of months. After the first growing season, it will bloom low-growing lavender flowers about 3-6” from July to September. Creating a vital nectar and pollen source for our friendly pollinators. Watering regularly after seeding and through dry periods is critical for success.
Pure Flower Seeds -- Unlike other brands, Flawn Seed doesn't use grass seed fillers. Flowering seeds have longer germination periods and mature slower than grasses. Mature flowering lawns with many blooms can take up to 6-24 months to fully establish, especially in thicker grass lawns that have been heavily fertilized in the past.
Seeding Information: Can be dormant seeded in late fall when the ground is frozen or over fresh snow throughout winter. If seeding in spring, wait until ground thaws and soil temperatures are around 55 degrees (Late April to early May for upper mid-west states). Designed to be over-seeded into existing grass lawn. Increase seeding rate for bare soil areas.
