Dymondia – The wonder cover

Dymondia margaretae

This wonderful groundcover is used here as a lawn substitute.  It is a very tiny (maybe 1″ tall) spreading groundcover that is green on the top and silver underneath and so gives off a look of morning frost on grass. It has tiny yellow daisy like flowers mostly in spring, can handle not so great soil, can be walked on and is very drought tolerant! I highly recommend planting this for lawn substitute, between stepping stones or in playful miniature gardens!
