Dichondra argentea
Silver Dichondra, Silver Ponysfoot
Dichondra is a low-maintenance, creeping or trailing plant native to the southwestern United States. It is an evergreen perennial in warm climates but is often used as an annual in frost-prone climates. The flowers are small and insignificant. The leaves are heart-shaped to kidney-shaped and attached to long, trailing stems. This vigorously fast growing plant can grow very long in just one season.
Dichondra is very heat and drought tolerant and requires well-drained soil and full sun. Use it in hanging basket and as a groundcover. The cultivar ‘Silver Falls’ bears brilliant velvety, metallic silver foliage.
