Perennial ground cover plant which is often used as an alternative to lawn Highly resistant to diseases and will grow in partial shade to full sun Excellent in rock gardens and as a contained border plant Grows very close to the ground - no more than 2 inches high USDA zones 7-11 Dichondra repens is a perennial ground cover plant (in USDA zones 7-11) that has a somewhat upright, creeping habit with circular leaves. It is not usually over 2 inches in height and retains its bright green color in temperatures as low as 25 F. (-3 C.). When this ground cover becomes full, it appears as a dense carpet-like grass and is often planted in places where other turf-type grass does not grow well. Dichondra can be grown from seed very easily. The recommended seeding rate for coated Dichondra is 3 pounds of seed per 1,000 square feet. The best time to sow Dichondra is from March through May; midsummer planting will germinate faster but will need careful, frequent waterings. Planting early will produce sturdy root systems that can take mid- summer heat and some water stress.
