CARE & MAINTENANCE
Dichondra (Dichondra Argentea Silver Falls) - If you like the dark green Emerald Falls Dichondra, then you will also love the silvery foliage of Silver Falls Dichondra. It is a wonderful pick for hanging baskets or use as a stunning low growing ground cover to use around the other plants. You will love how the contrasting foliages set each other off! Dichondra is commonly called Ponyfoot, and this silver Ponyfoot Dichondra Argentea is a must-have for the summer display. Silver Falls is heat and drought tolerant compared to other dichondra plants.
Silver Falls Dichondra is characterized by silvery leaves, glistening silver stems, and a cascading habit that can spread up to 5 feet. Easy and fast growing from Dichondra Argentea Silver Falls seeds, this Dichondra plant is simply one of the showiest accents around for all your containers and bare garden spots. The 3/4 - 1 inch leaves have a thick, super-soft texture and neat fan shape. Just like Emerald Falls, this adorable foliage plant needs no pinching. Quicker than you can say Silver Falls Dichondra, this cascading beauty will be 3 to 5 feet long, but only growing 3 - 5 inches tall. It is also very heat and drought tolerant making it the perfect plant for sunny locations. Silver Falls recovers quickly even if wilted, and looks fresh all season long.
Silver Falls thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. If you are using it as a ground cover in the garden, make sure that the soil drains well and does not stay soggy underneath this Silver Carpet ground cover. This Dichondra will grow as an annual in frost heavy zones.
Dichondra ground cover seed can be directly started in a prepared seedbed that is free of weeds. The soil temperature needs to be 70F for good germination. The Dichondra seeds need to stay moist but not saturated until germination.
