Dichondra is grown as both an annual and a perennial plant that in some areas of the country is used to create stunningly thick and gorgeous lawn-scapes. It does well in warm, temperate climates, but will also withstand temperatures as low as 20-25°F with only slight browning.
Dichondra, pronounced dye-KON-druh, is also called Asian Ponyfoot, due to the shape of its leaves, which are sometimes compared to clover. In all actuality, the leaf is only one, not three or four, that rises from a tiny slender stalk and wraps around that stalk forming a rounded hoof-like shaped leaf. First grown for the striking dark, intense green, other cultivars have given way to more creative uses. Warmer areas of the country grow it as a groundcover, while colder climates use it as an annual in containers and along borders. Dichondra is easy-to-grow, drought tolerant, highly attractive and is deer resistant.
