Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly will I receive?
You will receive 50 Frog Fruit seeds (Phyla nodiflora). This listing is for seeds, not rooted plants, plugs, or sod.
Which growing zone and light conditions suit Frog Fruit?
Frog Fruit is a low-growing perennial suited to USDA growing zones 8–11. Choose full sun or partial sun. Plants generally grow around 6 inches tall and spread along the ground. Foliage may die back during cold winters and regrow in spring where the plant is hardy.
Can Frog Fruit replace a lawn?
It can serve as a flowering ground cover in areas with light foot traffic. Its spreading growth is useful for filling open ground, but it is not a substitute for turf in heavily used play areas or sports lawns. Allow young plants to establish before walking on them.
Should I start this 50-seed packet in containers or sow it directly outside?
For a small packet, we recommend starting a trial in labelled containers so you can monitor moisture and distinguish seedlings from weeds. Check the instructions supplied with the seeds for sowing depth and any pretreatment. If those details are missing, contact us before sowing.
How long do Frog Fruit seeds take to germinate?
We do not quote a fixed germination time for this seed lot because a verified day range is not available in the product information. Record your sowing date and follow the packet instructions. If germination is unsuccessful, contact us with the sowing date, temperature, and method used so we can review the conditions.
Does Frog Fruit need regular watering?
Keep newly planted seedlings adequately watered while they establish. Established plants tolerate some drought, but Frog Fruit also grows well in moist soil. Drought tolerance in mature plants does not mean that germinating seeds or young seedlings can be left to dry out.
Are there any placement or spread concerns?
Frog Fruit spreads through creeping stems that can root where they touch the soil, so leave room for it and manage its edges near neighboring plants. Its flowers support pollinators. Check local planting guidance before using it outside its native range.
Will the plants look exactly like the photos?
The photos show mature Frog Fruit for reference. Seed-grown plants can vary, and their size, density, and flowering depend on growing conditions and season.
