Pink Chintz Thyme Lawn - Albuquerque, NM

Shop Alternative Lawns

Create an alternative lawn by carpeting your landscape with colorful, low-care groundcovers. These low-growing perennials are an indispensable part of any well-well designed garden and are perfect for replacing areas of lawn, large and small, especially difficult-to-mow hillsides. Use them as a “living mulch” to cool the ground and suppress weed growth or for filling in spaces between flagstones and pavers. Knowing and understanding their tolerance to foot traffic is a key element in deciding what are the right groundcovers for your needs.

'Lemon Fizz' Santolina (Santolina virens) has fine, almost mossy-looking foliage in an eye-catching chartreuse color. The compact mounding foliage is evergreen and produces bright yellow button-shaped flowers in summer. It thrives in full, hot sun, but demands a sandy, dry growing site once established. It’s a bit cold-tender and is recommended as a container-grown plant for use around the patio when planted away from the West Coast.
