| Botanical Name | Dichondra argentea 'Silver Falls' |
| Description | Prized for its brilliant metallic silver foliage and dramatic cascading habit, 'Silver Falls' is a standout in the Houston metro area. It is exceptionally heat and drought tolerant once established. While it can be used as a groundcover, it performs best in well-drained soil; in areas with heavy clay, it is most successful in containers, hanging baskets, or raised rock gardens where its delicate roots aren't subjected to standing water or oversaturation during humid rainy spells. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Partial Shade |
| Height x Width | 2-4 inches Tall x 3-4 feet Long (Trailing) |
| Water | Low to Moderate; allow the top of the soil to dry out between waterings. Highly sensitive to overwatering. |
| Zones | 9-11 (Perennial in Houston, but may need protection during hard freezes). |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the active spring and summer growing season. |
| Pruning | Trim as needed to maintain desired length or to encourage fuller growth at the crown. |
| Deer Resistance | Yes |
