Dichondra repens
Dichondra repens
An ideal species for gardening, Dichondra repens is more of a ground cover species than a lawn in the strict sense.
A Dichondra-based ground cover is more interesting and advantageous than a lawn in some specific projects, due to its spectacular beauty.
It tolerates full sun and also grows exceptionally well in shady conditions. It prefers warm-temperate climates for optimal development.
Furthermore, it does not require fertile soils and its greatest advantage over other turfgrass species is its low need for mowing.
