The Showy "Lily Pad" Lawn Substitute!
Dichondra
Thrives in sun to partial shade!
Just an inch or two high, it stays neat all year with no mowing!
Put away the lawn mower for good -- with robust, year-round ground coverage from Dichondra, you may never use it again! These tiny lily pad-shaped leaves are as exquisite to look at as they are easy to care for. Happy in sun or part shade, they arise so densely that you may never have to tackle "bare spots" in the lawn again!
This plant reaches just 1 to 2 inches high, remaining neat all year. It spreads readily, with one pound of seed covering 1,000 square feet. The foliage ranges from 1/4- to 1 1/2-inch across, with larger leaves serving as a base for smaller and new foliage. The charming kidney shape adds to the appeal of this year-round ground cover!
This perennial is equally happy in full sun or partial shade. Zones 8-10. Pkt is ½ ounce, or about 6,065 seeds.
