Turkey Tangle Lawn

Frog fruit ground cover is native to both North America and South America. Preferring the hot weather frog fruit works perfectly in direct sun and prefers the heat. This plant will thrive in hot climates and is not recommended for anywhere with snow or heavy frost. A great way to see if frog fruit will work in your area is by checking the local native website by searching your area and Phyla Nodiflora. Frog fruit may not come up with factual data since it is a nickname for the plant. Phyla Nodiflora also goes by turkey tangler on the east coast and has multiple versions in the Florida area.

Phyla Nodiflora works best in North America due to the evergreen qualities of the ground cover. Phyla Nodiflora stays close to the ground growing as high as 3-5" before laying down. As the plant grows from plugs, the stocks begin to thicken, keeping most of the leaves flat on the ground giving a great weed barrier and also allowing next to no maintenance.

Lippia Phyla Nodiflora as a Pollinator

Early May Phyla Nodiflora ground cover begins to bloom tiny purple flowers that are a great source of pollen for the local ecosystem. If there is anyone with bee allergies or if you would rather not have the flowers, just mow every couple of weeks until the end of November when the flowering stops.

Drought Tolerant Lippia Ground Cover

Native ground covers tend to be better and require less water and maintenance than traditional grass lawns. If an area has damage they heal faster in the hotter weather than compared to cool season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass.
