Northeast Georgia. I believe zone 7Q.Herniaria glabra planting times
I was wondering how late I would be able to plant Herniaria glabra plugs? Would it be ok if they were planted in mid September?

September 9, 2015A.The recommended planting time is late spring to early summer.
I would recommend overwintering them if possible in a greenhouse, but if this is not possible, go ahead and plant out.
Make sure you water well and get them established before they go dormant for the winter.Was this answer useful?00

Seminole, Florida 33772 Zone 10Q.Ground cover
Can Herniaria Glabra (Green Carpet) tolerate being mowed? Considering replacing weeds/grass with it but live where an Association mows and trims, sometimes weekly. My hesitation is that they will likely mow even if instructed to avoid the area.

Certified ExpertA.According to my research, this cover will stay short. It is likely that if they mow, the plant will be mostly untouched. If it does get cut a little, I don't think it would kill it.

Murrieta CA 92562Q.Does green carpet ground cover tolerate hail or frost

November 11, 2018A.The hardy zones for Green Carpet are 5-10, so frost is not an issue.
Hail can damage nearly any leafy plant, but I don't think it should be a problem in harming or killing off this ground cover.It is an easy-care perennial that is an excellent choice for growing between flagstones or growing as a lawn substitute. Deep green foliage creates a dense evergreen carpet, becoming bronze in winter. Tolerates high foot traffic. Well-suited for use as edging, ground cover or in containers.
