5 Seeds Dichondra micrantha Low Growing Groundcover Plant

Dichondra micrantha, commonly known as Asian ponysfoot, is a low-growing, mat-forming perennial valued for its dense carpet of small, rounded green leaves. It creates a uniform, soft-textured groundcover that works well in mild climates as a lawn alternative or between stepping stones.
This plant spreads by creeping stems and tolerates light foot traffic once established, making it suitable for borders, rock gardens, and container edges. It prefers consistent moisture and partial shade in hot regions, where foliage stays greenest and most lush.
