Notes

'Silver Falls' silver ponysfoot (Dichondra argentea 'Silver Falls') is an annual for containers, rock gardens, and accents. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It creeps and grows rapidly, reaching only 2 to 6 inches tall. It is drought tolerant, so it suits low care spots that dry out.

Pairs well with Lemon Coral sedum, Angelonia, and Statice.
