A hardy rambling ground-cover with silver foliage
Dichondra Argentea 'Silver Falls'
A hardy rambling ground-cover with silver foliage, Dichondra `Silver Falls` is a trailing plant with oval-shaped silver leaves. It makes a tremendous hardy ground cover plant ideal trailing over walls and rockeries. It also makes an excellent plant for hanging baskets as the long tendrils make a great show. Unlike the native Dichondra, Silver Falls will grow in full sun and is very drought tolerant.
Dichondra Argentea ‘Silver Falls’ originates from the arid regions of central and north America. The runners can trail over 1.5 metres long, making them a great plant for growing over retaining walls. `Silver Falls` is a plant we only supply over the warmer late spring to early autumn months due to its dormant growth phase over winter. It could be used as a lawn alternative but isn’t as good as some other plants are in that application; for this reason, we have placed it in the ground cover category. `Silver Falls` is a plant we only supply over the warmer late spring to early autumn months due to its dormant growth phase over winter.
