DICHONDRA - Groundcovers
Helping you Choose your grass!

Dichondra is a warm season ground cover that grows close to the ground. It has broad, almost circular leaves and when mown low establishes a thick dense carpet look. Originally a weed, it is now used in many ground cover situations where normal grasses may not do as well. It has a bright green color and a cushion feel underfoot.

CARE & ESTABLISHMENT Of Dichondra

Dichondra is something special.  It can turn your yard into a showplace.  dichondra's rich, lush green year-around color and velvety texture are the perfect complement to any home. Dichondra fits well for less than full-lawn situations too.  It is a good choice for replacement grass in areas difficult to mow, such as between stepping stones, around trees and next to walls and foundations.

SOIL TYPE:
Dichrondra can be grown in full sun or in partial shade and on soils that are sandy or heavy, as long as the soil has good drainage.

TEMPERATURE RANGE:
Dichondra is best adapted to those areas that have warm climates. Dichondra will retain its green color during the winter to temperatures as low as 20 - 25 degrees with only slight leaf browning.

Dichondra is NOT a lazy man's lawn... but with a wealth of new materials available to fight insects and weeds, dichondra care is much easier.  It is a lawn that responds to the care inspired by homeowners.

In its areas of origin it is highly resistant to diseases. Beautiful in landscaping areas of no maintenance where adapted, and does not need to be mown. When used in lawn situations it can be mown for an even, smooth finish. It needs well draining soils and deep watering, not shallow wateriness. It should begin to get a wilted look when it needs watering.

Dichondra - Maintenance

Varieties: none.

Adaptation: Hotter and dryer areas. Areas of little traffic is the best, it has very low wear ability.

Preparation: This should be planted on a thoroughly prepared seedbed and weed free in the beginning. Dichondra is very hard to remove weeds from and this step should be taken in the beginning. Fully pack the soil and lightly rake the surface and evenly spread the seed, evenly watering afterward.

Seeding: One pound per 300 square feet.

Usage: Low maintenance areas and erosion control in some places. For naturalized areas among other plantings.

Watering: Needs a lot of water on a deep and infrequent basis and needs to slightly dry out between wateriness. Too little watering results in problems if the soils is too heavy (clay types) and the water is too alkaline which in this case results in salt burn.

Fertilization: ˝ to 1 pound / 1000 SF about every 2 months.

Mowing: May be mowed - Mow ˝ to 1 ˝ inches depending upon traffic and shade.

Weakness: Alternaria fungus (result of over watering), fleabeetles and cutworms.
