Common Name:
Kidney Weed, Australian Native Dichondra

Description:
Dichondra repens is a fast-spreading, evergreen ground cover native to Australia, prized for its lush, trailing habit and small, rounded green leaves that form a dense, carpet-like mat. It is commonly used as a lawn alternative in shaded or low-traffic areas and works well between pavers, in hanging baskets, or as an underplanting for taller plants. This low-maintenance plant thrives in a range of conditions, from full sun to deep shade, and prefers moist, well-drained soil. It is drought-tolerant once established and requires minimal mowing, making it an excellent choice for a low-care garden. In summer, it produces tiny, pale yellow to greenish-white flowers, though they are often unnoticed beneath the foliage. Dichondra repens is a resilient and attractive addition to gardens, providing year-round greenery with minimal upkeep.
