What it's like
Dichondra makes a dense, low, bright green carpet of small round leaves — a genuine lawn substitute for paths, courtyards and shaded areas where grass sulks. It takes occasional footsteps but not a cricket match. Plant it between pavers or across a small shaded area and let it knit together.
Getting it established
Keep moist while it joins up. Once established it needs very little.
Potted stock travels upright in a purpose-built carton with the rootball wrapped. Bare-root trees are lifted the week they ship, roots packed in damp shavings. Either way, get it in the ground within a week of arrival.
You've got twelve months. If it was planted the way we suggested and it hasn't come away, send us a photo and we'll replace it on the next run.
Ten or more of one line gets trade pricing without an account. Tell us the site and we'll check the spacing with you before you order.
