Managing Clover in Kurapia

6 years ago

I have a kurapia "lawn" that has been in place for a few years. Overall, I love it (ripped out my previous dymondia). Much easier to maintain. I am getting large patches of clover due to other neighbors lawns and clippings. Anyone have suggestions on how to treat without killing the kurapia?

Kurapia is not a lawn, it is a ground cover. Since the clover and the kurapia are both broadleaf plants, the best way to control the clover is to pull it out by hand. There are no sprays to kill only clover.

@jenkneepea I'm considering Kurapia lawn. How long have you had it? Are you able to mow it if it gets too tall. Please share your experiences with Kurapia.
