Great video. I went and read your Bio and thought maybe you would have an answer. I'm in Central Coast California zones 8b-9b. I have a stunning Birch tree and want to replace the lawn with low growing, no mowing green ground cover. I love Ruschia Nana but it's not water compatible with the Birch. Landscaper suggested clover but between the bees and needing occasional mowing, may as well keep the lawn. Also recommended Silver Carpet which looks hairy and faded green. I love that people from the UK and Brazil responded. Sweet. Thx for the video...baby tears is beautiful and lush as you indicated
Hi - thanks for your nice message - isn't it cool that gardeners can connect from all over the world?!? I love that too! I don't have a lot of experience with the drought and heat of Central California - even though we're close to the same climate zones, our weather is so different! I'd ask around at good garden centers or discuss further with your landscaper to narrow down to your favorite choice.
I think it would mostly stay under the mower blades, so I think that mowing wouldn't kill it. But if the mower blades were set really low and gouged into it, it would set it back.
Here in Brazil its most commonly found as a hanging plant. Great video. Im now subscribed.
Thanks @Niel_Dias!

Beautiful.
Thank you for sharing.
Can you mow these baby tears without killing it ?
