Pat,
This plant is strictly ornamental, but definitely worth trying in the right location.

I have a neighbor who has this as her “grass alternative” and it is amazingly beautiful. When she told me what it was I went and did my own research. It is a wonderful replacement. I personally do not like grass and this is a bonus for me because of that. When it does bloom, and in Florida that seems to be most of the year, it is amazing. When you add a few native plants along side it, they are even more noticeable and your yard looks wonderful, colorful and bright. It looks nothing like weeds. It does require quite a bit of weeding, but less maintenance than regular grass, you use less water, it tolerates heat well and less problems with allergies as well. (for me at least) I love it!

This is truly a wonderful alternative to grass. It looks so inviting and colorful. I’ve had some of these pop up around my yard from time to time and had wished for a yard full of the Peanut plants! I’m in a wheelchair now 3 yrs with a spinal cord injury and I’m dependant on everyone else now to help with my lawn/gardening. It’s very difficult to get around my yard to my gardens, my yard is all weeds and sand now. I would like a low maintenance yard which I can get around with ease in my wheelchair and wanted something with a low pile and dense. Do they sell this in Pallets like sod?? Do you think it would work for me in S Fla East coast?I think it’s very appealing oppossed to yellow dry grass!

you’d have to see it in person . They are very pretty and don’t have the yellow flowers during the summer. Butterflies also like them!
