Dichondra ‘Emerald Falls’ (Dichondra repens)

Dichondra ‘Emerald Falls’ (Dichondra repens) is a trailing ornamental foliage plant known for its vibrant green, rounded leaves and graceful cascading habit. This variety creates a soft, flowing effect in hanging baskets, containers, and window boxes, making it a popular choice for adding texture and movement to plantings.

Emerald Falls features fast-growing, trailing stems that spill over edges, forming a dense curtain of foliage. It is commonly used as a spiller in mixed containers or as a groundcover in warm-season plantings. Its bright green colour provides contrast when paired with flowering annuals or darker foliage plants.

In Alberta, dichondra is grown as an annual and performs best during the warm growing season. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and offers reliable, low-maintenance performance throughout the summer.
