Dichondra Repens (Kidney Weed) is a fast-spreading, low-growing ground cover known for its small, rounded green leaves that form a dense, lush carpet. This hardy plant is perfect as a lawn alternative in low-traffic areas, between pavers, or as an underplanting beneath trees and shrubs. It thrives in a variety of conditions and helps suppress weeds while adding soft texture to the garden.
With its creeping habit, Dichondra Repens is a popular choice for erosion control and shaded garden spaces. It tolerates partial to full shade but also performs well in sunny locations with adequate moisture. This low-maintenance ground cover is an excellent choice for creating a natural, green look with minimal effort.
