Dichondra repens 'Emerald Falls'

I am Dichondra Emerald Falls. My family originated from Australia.

Habit Groundcover - Hardy and Low Maintenance
Plant family Convolvulaceae
I am a hardy native groundcover with attractively rounded emerald green leaves. I have a dense, vigorous habit making me a perfect choice for cascading from mixed containers and hanging baskets. I am am great for filling spaces between pavers. I prefer a sunny to partly shaded spot in moist well-drained fertile soil. I am low maintenance, but to keep me looking at my best give me an occasional light prune to encourage my dense habit.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
My emerald-green foliage can add a lush feel to your garden
I am a hardy plant that is heat tolerant
I am equally happy in the garden as am in containers & hanging baskets
