Dichondra, Silver Falls
$4.00
Dichondra (Dichondra spp.) plants are members of the morning glory family. The genus includes low-growing, spreading plants that can be used as a ground cover or even a lawn substitute. They also grow well in containers, spilling over the edges with their trailing foliage. Dichondra plants sport tight clusters of numerous rounded leaves that range from green to silver in color. They do bloom typically in the early summer, but the tiny flowers are not significant. Dichondra is best planted in the late spring or early fall when temperatures are mild, and these plants have a fairly quick growth rate.
