Dichondra

12" Dichondra – A Silver Cascade of Southern Grace

Delicate and flowing like ribbons in the wind, Dichondra is the quiet beauty of the garden—a silvery-green trailing plant that adds softness and charm wherever it grows. Originally native to warm, sunny regions of the Americas and Asia, Dichondra found its way into cottage gardens as a graceful filler, often seen spilling over clay pots, stone walls, and weathered window boxes.

At Wright’s Market, we love Dichondra for the way it elevates a space without ever trying too hard—humble, lovely, and effortlessly elegant, like something you'd find in an heirloom garden or tucked in a letter from a friend.

Where It Grows Best
Dichondra prefers full sun to partial shade and thrives in warm, dry climates, making it perfect for Southern porches, patios, and hanging baskets. It’s an ideal companion plant, often used to soften edges and create that romantic, overgrown look we love in old gardens and storybook paths.

Care Instructions

• Light: Full sun to light shade

• Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry—avoid overwatering

• Temperature: Thrives in warm weather; sensitive to frost

• Soil: Light, well-draining soil; avoid heavy or waterlogged conditions

• Bonus Tip: Dichondra ‘Silver Falls’ is particularly drought-tolerant and can handle the heat with grace. Let it trail freely or prune lightly to shape.

The 12" Dichondra adds a touch of softness and movement to your containers and garden spaces. Whether it’s paired with bright blooms or allowed to shine on its own, its shimmering leaves offer a gentle nod to the timeless art of making things beautiful—one trailing tendril at a time.
