About This Variety
Meet This Variety
Creeping Dichondra is a low-growing, spreading ground-cover plant for sunny sites where a soft, low profile is wanted. Its rounded leaves and creeping habit make it a distinct alternative to conventional turf in suitable areas.
Use it in ground-cover plantings, between larger landscape elements, or in containers where its trailing growth can be appreciated. Provide a well-prepared site, avoid prolonged waterlogging, and adapt care to local weather and the needs of young plants as they establish.
Grow Dichondra from seed for ornamental borders.
