Dichondra FAQ:  

1. How does Dichondra handle Shade?

Dichondra is very well suited to shade and is perfect for sowing under trees or in garden beds around other plants. 

2. How does Dichondra handle full Sun?

Dichondra is hardy and versatile but Australian Summers are challenging.  Deep watering a few times a week will benefit. Similar to lawns, if you get patches seasonally or a very hot summer you can oversow at the end of the season to fill in. 

3. How does Dichondra handle cold winters and frost?

Dichondra copes very well with cold winters and frost. If you notice any patches appearing during the colder seasons, you can oversow to fill in areas. 

4. How much watering does is require?  

Like all growing plants it needs irrigation in extended dry periods. It requires regular watering in dry months and extra irrigation in Summer (deep watering at least 2 x a week), but overall it is a hardy, versatile plant. 

5. Will it handle kids and pets?

Dichondra is better in low-traffic areas like garden beds and isn’t suited for surfaces that active dogs and kids will be playing on.

6. How do I sow Dichondra seed?

Follow the same steps as in our Lawn Sowing Instructions.  Use a Starter Fertiliser and keep the area continually damp during the germination phase... usually around 4 weeks.  

7. Will this grow in Perth/Canberra/NT/Brisbane?

Dichondra will grow in most Australian locations.  See our ‘Can I Sow This’ section for your location and suitability.
