Dichondra: An Alternative to Lawn

Date: 08-04-2022

When regular lawn grasses aren't quite right, Dichondra is a great choice.

Vibrant, green leaves, and a spreading growth habit which fills out over areas. No wonder Dichondra is popular lawn grass for landscaping. 

A perennial ground cover that has a pretty round shaped leaf, Dichondra spreads in a creeping fashion across the ground and has a bright green colour and a carpet like appearance.  It's great for areas where there are other plants.  It's low maintenance with only minimal care required. Dichondra = no mowing!

 

Dichondra is particularly suitable for cooler, hilly areas of Australia where usual lawns are difficult to grow or look after. Because of it's low maintainance it's easy to look after and can be paired with different flowering plants. Dichondras add fullness and a luscious green colour to your front or backyard.
