Flowering Ground Cover Seed Collection – 6 Low-Growing Lawn Alternative Flowers for Pollinators & Landscaping

Transform open spaces into living carpets of flowers with the Flowering Ground Cover Seed Collection from Survival Garden Seeds. This thoughtfully selected set includes six low-growing flower varieties designed to soften landscapes, replace sections of traditional turf, and create natural lawn alternatives with seasonal blooms.

Instead of maintaining a single grass lawn, gardeners can introduce patches of flowering ground cover that add color, fragrance, and texture while helping reduce mowing and water use. These adaptable plants work well between stepping stones, along pathways, around garden beds, or across small lawn areas where a softer, cottage-style landscape is desired.

The collection combines faster-establishing flowers like clover and sweet alyssum with slower-spreading varieties such as Roman chamomile. Together they create layered ground coverage that improves over time while supporting pollinators and beneficial insects.

Six Low-Growing Flower Varieties Included:

• White Carpet of Snow Sweet Alyssum (Lobularia maritima) – Compact white flowers that form dense, fragrant ground cover
• Royal Carpet Purple Sweet Alyssum (Lobularia maritima) – Rich purple blooms that attract pollinators and soften borders
• Crimson Clover (Trifolium incarnatum) – Bright seasonal blooms that add color and improve soil health
• White Clover (Trifolium repens) – Soft, walkable living ground cover that fills open spaces quickly
• Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile) – Delicate, aromatic flowers that soften pathways and garden edges

How to Grow:

Plant flowering ground cover seeds in full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil.

For best results:

• Sow seeds in spring after frost danger has passed or in early fall for cooler-season establishment.
• Prepare soil by loosening the surface and removing weeds.
• Broadcast or lightly sow seeds across prepared soil.
• Press seeds gently into the soil to ensure good seed contact.
• Keep soil consistently moist during germination and early growth.

Clover and sweet alyssum often establish quickly and provide early coverage. Roman chamomile may take longer to spread but it develops dense, long-lasting ground cover as plants mature.

Landscape Design Ideas:

Use these flowering ground covers to create natural pathways, soften the edges of garden beds, fill small lawn areas, or plant between stepping stones. Clover forms soft, walkable mats. Alyssum provides clusters of low blooms, and chamomile creates delicate flowering patches that enhance cottage-style gardens.

Each seed packet can be planted individually, allowing gardeners to design living ground layers that match the layout and conditions of their yard.
