Notes

Silver carpet (Dymondia margaretae) is a perennial for container planting, low maintenance spots, and ground cover. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and dry, sandy or loamy soil. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It stays evergreen, spreads 12 to 24 inches, and draws butterflies.

Pairs well with Sunburst aeonium, Stonecrop, and American century plant.
