Dichondra
Create a thick, green carpet of ground cover with Mr Fothergill’s Dichondra seeds. This attractive, trailing ground cover is ideal for sunny or shady spots and makes a great alternative to traditional lawns or as a filler for rockeries. Dichondra is easy to grow, low maintenance, and tolerant of foot traffic, making it a practical and beautiful addition to any flower garden. It covers roughly a metre per plant, but as it spreads over time, Dichondra creates a smooth, dense carpet ideal for areas that see some foot traffic without worrying about bare patches.
Consider pairing your Dichondra with flowering plants and companion plants to add texture and colour to your garden. For those new to planting, our seed-raising collection and seed starter kits have all the essentials to get your Dichondra off to a strong start, giving you lush, vibrant ground cover in no time.
Plant Height: 5cm
How To Grow
Sow your Dichondra seeds 5mm (1/4”) deep directly into their final growing position in full sun or part shade. Keep them well-watered until established. Once established, runners will develop, and the plant will spread rapidly to create an excellent cover crop. It is advisable to weed during this time to support plant growth. Dichondra Repens seedlings emerge in around 7-14 days.
