After the first growing season, your Flawn will bloom pink flowers about 2-4" tall between June and September, creating a vital nectar and pollen source for our friendly pollinators. Watering regularly after seeding and through dry periods is critical for success.
How to seed your Flawn:
Step 1: Mow your lawn very short (.5-1"). Use your mower's lowest setting, and go over your lawn a couple of times to chop up and distribute the clippings. You want to be able to see the soil before you seed. Then lightly rake to loosen the soil. That's it! You're ready to seed!
Step 2: Shake the jar and wave your arm back and forth to cover about a six foot wide path as you walk.
Step 3: Water the lawn to soak the soil but not create any standing water or runoff that would wash the seeds away.
Maintaining a Flawn:
- Mow at 2.5-3" for the first 1-2 years. Once established, it is up to you how you keep your Flawn. Mowing higher and less often will promote more flowers and have a more wild look. Mowing shorter and more often will have a more traditional lawn look with little to no flowers.
- Do not use pesticide weed or insect killers. Hand weed if necessary or desired.
- If you are seeding a new lawn or renovating a bare soil area, we recommend using a blend of fine fescue seed at 2-4 lbs/1,000 sq. ft.

I followed the directions but maybe there isnt enough sun in the area where I planted. Nothing germinated. Im not sure how many stars to give because im not sure if I messed something up.
Thank you for your review Serge, Creeping thyme is naturally a slow grower. It follows the sleep in year one, creep in year two, and leap in year three. In the first year it's likely that only about half of the seed will germinate and it will be very small growing only to about 1-2” plants by the end of the first year. After 2-3 years it will be fully mature and about 1-2ft diameter and 2-4” tall and bloom regularly from July-August. It grows best in well drained soils (not clay) in full sun. If the area stays moist for more than 24hrs after a rain event, then creeping thyme will not grow well there. Core aeration may help to improve drainage. Do not water when the area is already wet. Nature can require some patience but it is beautiful in its own way. Please keep in mind that a successful seeding in an outdoor environment is subject to many variables such as quality and condition of the soil, existing vegetation, pests, temperature, amount of sunlight and rain as well as other factors outside of anyone’s control. For bare soil areas we recommend using 2-5x the amount of seed. The seeds are tested every six months so if conditions are ideal, they should grow at the percentages on the back label, so you don’t have to worry about them being a bad batch. Please feel free to update your freview in 6-12 months as the Creeping Thyme startes to mature.
Planted a couple weeks ago and now I have a bunch of little plants growing in my yard!
Great
