Dichondra: The Low-Maintenance Carpet for Your Garden

Dichondra (Dichondra repens), also known as Silver Dollar Plant or Creeping Dichondra, is a versatile, low-maintenance groundcover perfect for UK gardens. This evergreen perennial forms a dense, green mat of small, rounded leaves, resembling silver dollars, hence its nickname.

Benefits of Dichondra:

• Low-maintenance: Requires minimal mowing, feeding, and watering once established.
• Drought-tolerant: Thrives in dry conditions, making it ideal for water-wise gardens.
• Full sun to partial shade: Adapts to various light conditions.
• Suppresses weeds: Dense foliage discourages weed growth.
• Soft and comfortable: Creates a pleasant surface for walking barefoot.
• Erosion control: Helps prevent soil erosion on slopes.

Ideal for:

• High-traffic areas: Patios, pathways, and around pools.
• Slopes and banks: Helps control erosion.
• Rock gardens: Adds visual interest and texture.
• Between stepping stones: Creates a natural, weed-suppressing pathway.
• Living mulch: Under shrubs and trees to suppress weeds and conserve moisture.
