Wonderlawn Seeds

Why Grow Wonderlawn

• Low growth suits slopes, paving gaps and places where mowing is difficult.
• Sun-to-shade tolerance allows use in many lower-traffic garden areas.
• Small leaves spread into a dense green carpet.
• No routine mowing is required.

Growing Notes

• Prepare a fine, firm, weed-free seedbed and keep the top layer moist without puddles.
• After establishment, water deeply and less frequently; constant shallow watering encourages weeds and disease.
• Use for low-to-moderate traffic rather than a sports or heavy-play lawn.
• Do not use a broadleaf lawn herbicide: Wonderlawn is itself a broadleaf groundcover.
