About this plant
This plant which looks a little like Juniperus conferta is the stuff of which chamomile lawns are really made. It doesn't produce daisies so you get a mat-forming feathery green lawn. It is not hard wearing like grass. So it is susceptible to going bare in places and is not a weed suppressant. But it does smell gorgeous. The foliage is very pretty with little rather spiky foliage branches.

Spring
Spring-Autumn · Outdoors
Water during dry periods
For plants in the ground, when there has been little or no rain for a period of 7-10 days and the soil is dry, give it a deep watering and repeat weekly until there is a downpour of rain. Check plants in pots more frequently, especially in hot weather.
Summer
Summer - early · Outdoors
Feed a general fertiliser
Where plants have moderate needs for nutrients, they can simply be given a general feed, fairly early in the growth season so that the growth has plenty of time to harden off before the cold weather.
Give plants a general boost with the application of a general purpose fertiliser which is spread around the root area of the plant, with amounts as directed on the feed label.
