Fleur de Lawn

Welcome to Hobbs & Hopkins Ltd. ProTime! If you don't find what you're looking for, feel free to give us a call.

Fleur de Lawn is a low maintenance, flowering lawn. It requires minimal watering after establishment, is naturally self-fertilizing, and needs little mowing (about once a month).  Small flowers and low-growing clover combine with a special variety of dwarf perennial rye grass to create a very appealing ground cover.

Fleur de Lawn makes it possible to enjoy a bit of the countryside in your own outdoor living space. The Fleur de Lawn seed blend was developed from research at Oregon State University on landscapes that are better for the environment.

The grass chosen for Fleur de Lawn is PR8820 Perennial Rye grass, a true dwarf perennial rye grass. PR8820’s short height, coupled with its fine, soft texture lends itself to providing the perfect backdrop for the small flowers and blooming clover in the self-contained herbaceous lawn.

It also contains: English Daisy (Bellis perennis), a short rosette with pink to white daisy-like flowers, 1/2″ to 1″ in diameter, on short stalks; Baby Blue Eyes (Nemophila menziesii), a small plant with delicate foliage and tiny blue and white flowers, varying in height; Dwarf Yarrow (Achillea millefolium), a small variety with soft, feather-like foliage; and O’Connor’s Strawberry Clover (Trifolium fragiferum), a low-growing, self sustaining legume that provides nitrogen to fertilize the other plants.

Cultural Requirements: Every variety of plant developed for the mix has drought tolerant qualities, so supplemental irrigation and fertilizer are reduced after establishment. Fleur de Lawn will tolerate filtered shade with maximum flowering occurring in full sun. The recommended seeding rate for the Fleur de Lawn is 1 lb. per 1000 sq. feet.
