Dichondra is a perennial foliage plant that has a prostrate or creeping growth habit with circular leaves and entire margins that are grown from Dichondra seeds. It grows very close to the ground, (usually not over 2 inches tall) and is a warm season fast-growing ground cover that grows in USDA zones 8 through 11. It is not grown from blooms, but rather for its attractive leaves and trailing growth habit. Dichondra is very popular in hanging baskets. Our Dichondra Seeds are available in 3 colors which are Bright Green (Dichondra Repens), Emerald (Dichondra Repens Emerald Falls), & Silvery (Dichondra Argentea Silver Falls), and in 5 different sizes to suit your gardening needs.
Dichondra, with its broad, circular leaves resembling clover, forms a dense, carpet-like appearance when mowed low. Ideal for areas where grasses struggle, it offers a pleasing feel underfoot and prevents soil erosion, making it a reliable and attractive perennial ground cover.
Many people use dichondra as a lawn alternative. These seeds create a soft, clover-like ground cover that requires minimal mowing and care making it a low-maintenance option for your garden. Suitable for various soil types, dichondra seeds offer a refreshing change from traditional lawns, creating a lush Dichondra Repens lawn.
Dichondra plants are an excellent choice for hanging baskets due to their beautiful trailing habit. Their cascading stems create a lush, flowing effect, making them perfect for adding a touch of elegance to any space. The small, circular leaves add texture and visual interest, enhancing the overall appeal of the arrangement.
Dichondra is prized not for its flowers, but for its attractive foliage and creeping growth habit. It makes them ideal for covering large areas efficiently. These seeds spread horizontally to form a dense, green carpet. Its low-growing nature and ability to fill in gaps make them a practical perennial ground cover choice.
Dichondra seeds are covered with a specialized clay coating designed to enhance their performance. This coating makes the seeds easier to spread uniformly over the planting area, ensuring better coverage. This perennial plant requires minimal mowing, making it an ideal low-maintenance solution. Most dichondra plants are heat and drought-tolerant. It also recovers quickly even if wilted, and looks fresh all season long.
Vigorous and easy to grow, this Dichondra boasts thick, super-soft leaves which are about 3/4 - 1 inch leaves in width. The foliage is thick-arrayed on very well-branched plants that need no pinching. This 2-inch tall Dichondra will cascade about 3 feet from your baskets, windowboxes, or other containers, but it will also form a nicely domed shape that fills the available space beautifully!
Dichondra ground cover seed needs warm soil before it can sprout. The best time to seed dichondra is when temperatures are in the 70's range and night time temps are in the 50's range. The first leaves will be long and narrow and will not look like dichondra in the beginning. This is usually mid to late spring or late summer to early fall. When soil temperatures are too low, seed sprouting and establishment will take much longer or may not occur at all. Use 1 lb of seed per 500 square feet, lightly raking them to cover with no more than 1/8 inch of soil for optimal germination. Water moderately to avoid waterlogging, which can harm the seeds. You can fertilize it monthly with 1/2 - 1 lb of nitrogen. Dichondra does not require regular mowing but can be trimmed to maintain the desired height if necessary.
