Description
Dichondra argentea 'Silver Falls' is a striking groundcover known for its trailing silver-grey foliage that adds a unique texture and colour contrast to gardens. Perfect for hanging baskets, retaining walls, or as a cascading groundcover, 'Silver Falls' brings a soft, flowing look to any landscape. Its drought tolerance and low-maintenance needs make it ideal for Perth’s climate, particularly in sunny areas or light shade. Plant in well-drained, sandy soil to ensure it thrives.
For best results, water moderately while establishing, then reduce to occasional watering. Apply a slow-release fertiliser in spring to maintain lush foliage. This hardy plant grows well in pots or directly in garden beds and is suitable for adding a decorative, trailing effect to patios and outdoor spaces.
