Our No Mow Flowering Lawn Seed Mix is the perfect solution for a self-sustaining lawn that looks beautiful. The lawn features No Mow Grass, a mix of low-growing grasses that are soft and highly resilient. Dutch White Clover is widely popular for lawns, where it improves soil health, reduces erosion, and blooms with pollinator-friendly flowers in early summer. English Daisies bloom from spring to early summer, adding charm and fragrance. This durable, easy-to-grow mix is a great option for home lawns, parks, and slopes. It will grow in full sun to partially shaded locations. English Daisies do not tolerate high heat, so in warmer zones, plant in locations with afternoon shade.
This quick-growing lawn will germinate in about 10-14 days when the conditions are right; the cool season grasses establish best in spring or fall. Best for use in the Northeast, Mid Atlantic, Midwest, and West. In states along the southern US border, we recommend warm season grasses.
For a natural look, skip mowing altogether, or mow as little as twice a year for a neat look – once in spring and once in fall when grass is most actively growing. Do not use fertilizer, as it will cause grass to become taller and leggy.
Not recommended for Oregon & Alaska, where English Daisy is considered invasive.
When To Plant:
The clover and cool season grasses in this mix prefer cooler temperatures for germination and growth, so spring and fall are the best time to plant; avoid planting at the hottest time of year. In spring, you can sow as early as two weeks before your last frost date. In fall, sow at least 8 weeks prior to your first average frost date, so that perennial clover plants have time to establish root systems before freezes hit. In spring you’ll have more weed pressure; planting in fall allows you to avoid the germination time of most weeds.
Soil Preparation:
For the best success with your new planting, we recommend removing existing growth and preparing soil for planting.
Watering:
All new plantings should be kept damp for best results with germination. Water regularly to ensure your soil doesn’t dry out. Once seedlings appear after about 2 weeks, watering can be reduced.
Maintenance:
The benefit of growing clover in your lawn is that it does not need fertilizer! Avoid the use of herbicides. For a natural look, skip mowing altogether, or mow as little as twice a year for a neat look – once in spring and once in fall when grass is most actively growing. Mow at most once per month, or when grass reaches 5-6 inches tall; do not mow lower than 3.5-4 inches. Do not use fertilizer, as it will cause grass to become taller and leggy. Over time, if thatch builds up to the point where dead grass is visible and the grass begins to thin out, the lawn should be de-thatched in mid-spring before growth begins.
Sowing Seeds:
 Using the recommended coverage rate, scatter seeds densely and gently compress seeds for good seed to soil contact. We recommend reserving about 10-15% of seeds so that you can fill patches that may occur.

"I planted them all. We'll see how they come up."
"I wish this product contained the botanical names of all the plants within the seed mix. Description implies Dutch white clover + English daisy. I am seeing much more diversity. There are definitely 4-5 additional different plants coming up. Right now, I don't mind any of them so far. So I wouldn't quite call them weeds. It came in pretty patchy at first but then I just re-seeded over the bare spots and it's been filling out nicely the past couple months. These photos are from June and I began seeding in march. I walk over it and the plants don't mind at all. We'll see if I need to mow. I'm satisfied with the purchase."
"We started this mix down a long driveway last year. It was a dry year so it struggled a bit. The alyssum, English daises, and a few others did ok. We over seeded early spring this year. First up was lots of pretty orange western wallflowers (according to my plant identifier). This mix must have been very heavy on the clover—it's everywhere! The daisies, five spot, blue eyes and others are struggling to come up through the clover. I would have preferred less clover, more colorful flowers. Other than that it's good."
"I was looking forward to the many flowers that were supposed to be part of this mix, especially the daisy's and only 3 were seen over a 35x55 foot area beside my driveway. While it's a huge improvement from the weeds that were there, the mix does not live up to the description which is what made me purchase this not inexpensive seed. I also have found it has to be mowed 2x month which I feel is also more than what you are led to believe within the description."
"I applied as directed. The grass was only supposed to be 6 inches tall, try 20! And it probably would've grown taller if I hadn't got sick of it and mowed it down. It is very patchy and ugly. Instead of a no-mow Grass I am having to mow it once every two weeks. I purposely put it on my hill so I would not have to mow. I will probably kill it off this fall and try something else. I talked with sales reps on the phone, exchange pictures and emails, no one was any help. They blamed me. How can I be blamed for their grass growing 12 inches taller than I want."
"Hello American Meadows, I mixed your No Mow Flowering Lawn Seed Mix with your No Mow Lawn & Microclover Seed Mix as a lawn alternative for a client (Linda) in Bergen County, NJ, who moved from Los Angeles.
