How about a lawn of prickly pear cactus?PlainJane wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2020 7:04 am ...The problem in Florida is that we’re on the high end of thyme’s heat tolerance range, and summer is unrelentingly humid. Many other plants I’ve tried such as agastache, penstemons, some salvias, epilobium and gaura have made it through a season or 2 and then melted away.

I could show you vast acres as far as the eye can see of the things just north of me.
Not unless they have been plowed under or bulldozed for housing developments.

You can't argue with a closed mind.
You might as well be arguing with a cat.

Re: Thyme or Oregano Lawn?
My parents house in Central NY has heavy clay soil that for some reason wild thyme thrives in. It equally competes with the grass in their lawn and outcompetes the grass in some areas. Smells great every time the lawn is mowed.
