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:
- Prepare: No need to remove existing grass! Simply mow your existing grass very short.
- Spread: Use the carton to mix the seed with the carrier product and spread evenly into the grass, using the carton as a spreader.
- 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.

About Flawn Seed Kits
Join the Flowering Lawn Revolution!
Tired of constant mowing, watering, and fertilizing? Flawn Seed Kits offers a simple, beautiful alternative: flowering lawns that are low-maintenance, eco-friendly, and pollinator-friendly. By transforming your traditional turf into a vibrant mix of clover and low-growing wildflowers, you can reduce your carbon footprint, improve soil health, and support the environment—right from your own backyard.
Our Roots
Flawn Seed Kits is a small, family-run business based in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Founded by horticulturist and lawn care expert Anthony Nied, our mission is to improve quality of life and environmental health by eliminating harmful lawn chemicals and bringing pollinators back to our yards.
Anthony’s journey started in 2010, working in conventional lawn care. After realizing the dangers of daily exposure to toxic pesticides, he knew he had to make a change. “When I couldn’t hug my kids after work because I was covered in chemicals, I knew there had to be a better way,” he recalls.
That better way became Safe & Simple Organic Lawns, focused on soil health and organic practices. In 2018, Anthony began experimenting with clover and native flowers to naturally enrich lawns. The results were undeniable: healthier lawns, less maintenance, and a buzzing return of butterflies and bees.
Our Mission
At Flawn Seed Kits, we're on a mission to:
Reduce chemical use in lawn care
Support pollinators and biodiversity
Cut carbon emissions and resource waste
Make lawn care simpler and safer for people, pets, and the planet
