Description

Dichondra argentea ‘Silver Falls’ is an unusual and exciting, evergreen summer bedding plant which is most often used as a bushy, trailing addition to baskets and containers. It produces delightful silvery toned, heart-shaped leaves up to 3cm across for ‘spilling’ interest to your seasonal planting. Space allowing, stems can trail as much as 1.5m for an astounding display! In early summer small, pale, yellow-green or white flowers appear for added interest. Alongside its trailing abilities, Dichondra argentea ‘Silver Falls’ makes valuable groundcover as plants will intertwine to form a dense mat. This adaptable annual bedding plant will add intriguing interest to your baskets, window boxes and containers from spring right through to autumn (dependent upon temperatures). ‘Silver Falls’ prefers a spot which benefits from well-drained soil in full sun or light shade. As a tender annual, this evergreen bedding plant will die back once your garden climate drops below around 5 C. Grows to reach a height of 20cm with a spread of up to 1.5m.
