How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds in late spring or early fall, when soil temperatures are warm (night > ~10–15 °C / ~50 °F).

Prepare a well-drained bed or container; remove weeds and loosen topsoil.

Surface-sow or lightly cover seeds (do not bury deeply).

Keep soil evenly moist until germination. Seeds typically germinate in about 1–2 weeks under good conditions

How to Grow

For ground cover: allow it to creep and fill space; for container/hanging use: allow runners to cascade over edges.

Provide full sun to partial shade; full sun encourages denser, more compact growth, though partial shade is tolerated.

Water moderately — Dichondra is drought-tolerant once established, but avoid overwatering or waterlogging.

Trim or mow occasionally if it outgrows boundaries; helps maintain tidy appearance

Tips

Choose well-drained soil — avoid heavy clay or waterlogged soil, which can cause root rot.

For hanging baskets or cascading planters, let runners drape over edges for natural “waterfall” effect.

In hot, dry climates, water more regularly until fully established; thereafter water sparingly.

If used as a ground-cover lawn alternative, expect dense mats — consider occasional trimming to control spread.

PLANT TYPE

Perennial ground-cover plant.

Dichondra repens “Silver Falls / Emerald Falls” is a popular ground-cover and trailing plant known for its small, round silvery-green leaves and vigorous creeping habit. It spreads quickly across soil, rock gardens, or cascades beautifully from hanging baskets — making it a versatile choice for borders, slopes, walkways, or containers. Adaptable to full sun or partial shade, and tolerant of drought and poor soils, Dichondra requires minimal maintenance once established, and helps suppress weeds and stabilize soil.
