Dichondra Repens - Kidneyweed

Dichondra repens

Dichondra repens, commonly known as kidney weed or lawn leaf, is a low-growing perennial groundcover native to New Zealand and Australia. With its attractive, rounded leaves and ability to spread quickly, it's often used as an alternative to traditional grass lawns or as a decorative accent in gardens. Dichondra repens thrives in moist, well-drained soil and partial shade, making it a popular choice for shady areas where grass struggles to grow. Its dense, carpet-like growth habit and tolerance to foot traffic make it a versatile and visually appealing option for landscaping.
