It is a lush Australian native that’s an easy to grow groundcover with small, dark green kidney shaped leaves.

The vigorous creeping habit results in a dense mat that hugs the ground and spreads readily.

Dichondra looks gorgeous when planted between pavers, between sleepers, as a ground stabiliser for sloping banks, in rockeries, or in hanging baskets. Because it is virtually maintenance free it is perfect for those hard to get at nooks and crannies in your garden.

It prefers a well drained, moist soil and likes shady areas.

Some Of Our Other Grasses

Zoysia Tenuifolia and Ophiopogon Japonicus Nana

Both Zoysia tenuifolia and Ophiopogon Japonicus Nana have many ‘Common Names’ which has always made it difficult to establish which plant to purchase, until now that is!

What is Zoysia Tenuifolia?

Here is an article written in the Sydney Morning Herald: Zoysia Makes a Brilliant Green No mow Lawn.

Written by Robin Powell, this article sings the praises of Zoysia Tenuifolia. Robin describes Zoysia and mentions Just Grass and my good self:

“Keen gardener Graeme Fraser saw it there (Hunter Valley Gardens) in 2009 and loved its free-form, free-flowing look. So when he found it impossible to buy for his own garden, he made a ‘‘note to self: business opportunity”.

He launched Just Grass (tranquilhavens.com.au), an online nursery selling Dwarf Mondo and Zoysia, his true love, by mail-order. Graeme says his success, despite his lack of horticultural experience, is a guarantee to other gardeners of the plant’s adaptability. It grows in sun and shade, only complains if left in soggy soil, and is not particularly expensive.

“If you fancy a brilliant emerald green lawn that doesn’t need mowing, mossy-looking landscapes without the challenge of growing moss, and softness so alluring you can’t keep your hands off it, meet Zoysia tenuifolia. It is the plant set to become this decade’s mondo grass.” Robin Powell – Sydney Morning Herald
