  • Description:

    Dichondra argentea, commonly called silver ponysfoot or silver nickel vine, is a creeping/trailing annual that is native to desert regions in western Texas, New Mexico, southeastern Arizona and northern Mexico. 'Silver Falls' is a cultivar that is grown as an ornamental annual foliage plant. It is best grown in baskets/containers or as a seasonal ground cover. From a hanging basket, it will cascade downwards to 3-6' long in one season. As a ground cover, plants only rise to 2-6" tall, but spread rapidly by stems rooting at the nodes to 3-4' wide in one season. Branching silver stems are clad with soft, rounded, fan-shaped, silver leaves (to 1" across). Foliage is often described as having a metallic appearance. Tiny greenish-yellow to white spring flowers are not showy.
