Plant of the Week - Dichondra

I really enjoy this groundcover. It's so adaptable as it can grow in full-sun or almost full-shade. I've used it twice in my garden, once here as it fills in between the slabs which softens the whole aspect and again out the front under a group of Silver Birches. I've naturalised some daffodils under the dichondra in this bed and it looks great in spring.

It takes a little while to get going but give it some liquid fertiliser, spring sunshine and warmth and a regular supply of water and you'll cover any spot in the garden.
