- Silver Falls
Truly one of the most amazing trailers you
can grow!
This dichondra is covered with small, rounded,
silver leaves, that are soft to touch. Vigorous
with a true cascading habit, it will gently sway
in the wind. It's an excellent choice for mixed
containers or hanging baskets. The photo shows
just a single plant near the end of the season.
This silver-stemmed plant also performs as a
low-growing ground-cover, but requires
well-drained soils.
Very heat and drought-tolerant, ‘Silver Falls’
recovers quickly if wilted. Fertilize lightly.
- Emerald Falls
If you're looking for a "go-anywhere"
sun-loving foliage plant, Emerald Falls is the
variety you MUST try!
Vigorous and easy to grow, this Dichondra boasts
thick, super-soft deep green leaves arising
profusely on very well-branched plants that need
no pinching. Not quite as vigorous
as Silver Falls.
- Growing
Guide
Very heat and drought-tolerant, both silver
Falls and Emerald Falls recover quickly even if
wilted, and look fresh all season long.
