I have front and back garden and would like to scatter some daisies on my lawn but do not have a clue on how to go about this. So I would appreciate if you could help me out with this.
They can be naturalized for a yard.

We are interested in replacing our small lawn with this lawn substitute. Since this plant has a taproot (how long I do not know) and we have gophers who eat roots throughout our hills, is this plant's taproot at risk?
Green Carpet Rupturework or Herniaria are not considered 'Gopher resistant'.
Addressing the Gopher issue prior to planting would be the best coarse of action.

Need tips on integrating white clover into a faltering new (post new septic system installation) lawn. Where would I get white clover seeds? How can I seed it without ploughing up the new seeding? What about care going forward and best time to do it? Thank you.
Seed can be purchased at garden centers or ordered online.

I just read this article. It is on planting bellis perennis as a ground cover. I would dearly love to do this, but all bellis perennis seeds I can find are for fancier, fuller, bigger daisies. I want the sweet, simple ones. Where do I find seed for these??? https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/lawn-care/lawn-substitutes/bellis-daisy/english-daisies-for-lawns.htm
A Google search for 'wildflower Bellis Daisy ground cover seeds' will provide you with numerous sources that can ship to you.

We have a garden that has a large Copper Beech Tree. The trunk is to the left of the border, with the canopy covering the whole area, which in high summer, reduces the amount of sun the area gets. I would call the area well drained. It will not be used for walking on. Can you recommend an alternative lawn, that needs little care? Thanking you Margaret Hunter

Greetings! We live in Southern California and are looking for a drought resistant, foot traffic friendly ground cover. This would be in a full sun area. It doesn't have to look manicured, we do not mind flowers. What would you suggest? Marie
