Dichondra Dichondra Repens is a herbaceous perennial plant native to New Zealand and Australia. Dichondra seeds germinate very fast, and also commonly called Kidney Weed, Lawn Leaf, and Dichondra Pony Foot, Dichondra Repens is a warm season ground cover that has an upright, creeping growth habit, and Dichondra grows very close to the ground - usually not over 2 inches tall. Once established Dichondra produces bright-green foliage with broad, clover-like leaves and forms a thick, dense, carpet-like ground cover. If grown as a lawn alternative Dichondra can mowed to around 1 1/2 inch height for the best density.
