EASY TO PLANT

Planting in 5 Simple Steps

Everything you need to establish a healthy, long-lasting Cowboy® Perennial Peanut groundcover.

1

Plan

Use the Plant Calculator to determine spacing.

​

1 ft = fastest coverage

2 ft = best value

3 ft = economical

2

Prepare

Remove existing weeds, grass, and debris.

​

Loosen the soil 2-4 inches deep if compacted.

3

Plant

Dig hole slightly larger than the root ball. 

​

Set the plant level with the surrounding soil and firm the soil around the roots.

4

Water

Water immediately after planting.

​

Keep soil consistently moist during the first 4-6 weeks while plants are establishing.

5

Enjoy

Rhizomes spread outward, connecting plants into a dense, weed-suppressing groundcover.

​

Continue watering during dry periods until fully established.

Pro Tips

Plant during spring through early fall for fastest establishment.

Choose a location with well-draining soil.

Full sun produces the best flowering and fastest coverage.

Avoid planting into standing water or poor-draining soils.

A light mulch between plants can reduce weeds during establishment.
