Dichondra argentea 'Silver Falls' is a stunning trailing perennial prized for its cascading silver foliage and soft, velvety texture. Its long, flowing stems make it one of the most popular plants for hanging baskets, pots, retaining walls and as a spreading ground cover. Heat and drought tolerant once established, it performs beautifully in Sunshine Coast gardens, adding contrast and elegance to a wide range of landscape styles.
Flowers
Produces small, inconspicuous greenish-yellow flowers during spring and summer. The flowers are not considered an ornamental feature, with the plant being grown primarily for its attractive foliage.
Foliage
Silky, rounded silver leaves densely cover the trailing stems, creating a shimmering waterfall effect that provides year-round colour and texture.
Fruit
