Hi,

I was hoping someone might be able to advise me where I can get a substantial amount of seed for a reasonable price. I am not even sure how much I need. I have a 25 X 14 area covered with flagstones. Around all the flagstones is just dirt. It is very ugly and I thought I could make it prettier by planting some groundcover in between the stones. I am debating trying to plant corsican mint or maybe even elfin thyme in between flagstones in this backyard patio area.

I searched online and strangely enough had a hard time finding seeds for sale. I found one place that sold large amounts of the seed but they said they were sold out for 09... go figure!

Also I am curious on people's opinions on using this for a groundcover in between flagstones. I will be using it behind my house which gets indirect sunlight. Some areas are a little shady.

Should I put good quality top soil down in between flagstones before planting?

How long does it take to grow?

I thought about buying the plants.. but the idea of having to cut them up to fit this size area.. and the cost of doing so doesn't seem worthwhile.

Does corsican mint grow well from seed?

Any other ones that I should consider?

Thanks in advance!!!
