Kit Contents: Each Flawn Seed Kit contains:
- Creeping Thyme Seeds
- Soil Builders
- Compost Booster
What To Expect: With regular watering, germination occurs in 2-3 weeks, with small plants initially. After the first season, your "Flawn" will produce abundant pink flowers (2-4" tall) from June to September, offering a vital nectar source for pollinators. Consistent watering is crucial during seeding and dry spells for best results.
How to Seed Your Lawn:
- Prepare: Mow your lawn very short (0.5-1") and lightly rake to expose soil.
- Spread: Shake the jar and wave your arm to cover a six-foot path as you walk.
- Water: Lightly water the seeded area, avoiding runoff.
Maintaining a Flawn:
- Mow at 2.5-3" for the first 1-2 years. Established flawn can be maintained to your preference – higher/less often for more flowers, or shorter/more often for a traditional look.
- Do not use pesticide weed or insect killers. Hand weed if desired.
- For new lawns or bare areas, consider blending with fine fescue seed (2-4 lbs/1,000 sq. ft.).
Creeping thyme is very slow to germinate. It takes 1-3 years before you know if the seeding is successful. It follows the native wildflower schedule of sleep in year one, creep in year two, and leap in year three.
