What To Expect When Using Flawn Seed: With regular watering, Creeping Thyme typically germinates in 3-4 weeks, with small plants emerging over the first couple of months. Patience is key as it's slow to establish; don't expect a full show in the first season. However, once established (generally 18-24 months for maturity, but can take 6-24 months, especially in thicker grass lawns), it will put on a magnificent display of low-growing pink flowers. Consistent watering after seeding and through dry periods is critical for successful germination and establishment.

How To Start Your Flowering Lawn Journey:

  1. Prepare: No need to remove existing grass! Simply mow your existing grass very short.
  2. Spread: Use the carton to mix the seed with the carrier product and spread evenly into the grass, using the carton as a spreader.
  3. Water: Water lightly but frequently after seeding, ensuring the soil and emerging seedlings don't dry out.
  • Seeding Timing: Can be dormant seeded in late fall when the ground is frozen, or over fresh snow on a calm day throughout winter. If seeding in spring, wait until the ground thaws and soil temperatures are around 55 degrees (e.g., late April to early May for upper mid-west states). Designed to be over-seeded into existing grass lawn. Increase the seeding rate for bare soil areas.

Maintaining Your Flawn:

  • Mowing: Creeping Thyme greatly reduces the need to mow. Once established, you can mow higher and less often to promote more flowers, or shorter and more often for a more traditional look with fewer blooms.
  • No Pesticides: Do not use pesticide weed or insect killers. Hand-weed if necessary or desired.
  • Watering: Once established, it won't require watering, except in periods of extended drought.
  • Pairs Well With: Fine Fescue (Low Mow) Grass, Clovers, Self-Heal, Sweet Alyssum, English Mixed Daisy, White Yarrow.
