Plants go straggly after flowering and bare patches may appear in the bed. To avoid this consider trimming weekly by about the width of your hand until the plants are about 10cm above the ground. Leave the cuttings in place along with the seed heads will mean there are seeds around to cover any bare patches. It grows well when sown along with grass seed in a lawn. Don't expect to see flowers if mown regularly... but it sure smells good when lying on the lawn and whilst mowing.
