Silver Pony Foot
Dichondra argentea
The Silver Pony Foot plant is a favorite for Austin landscaping due to its low-maintenance nature and stunning appearance. While Dichondra argentea doesn't produce flowers, it's an evergreen plant that can add color and life to areas where other plant species can't grow.
Silver Pony Foot is a type of low-growing herbaceous perennial. It only reaches a maximum height of about five inches. However, it can grow several feet wide! When grown in a flower bed, it creates eye-catching ground cover. A single plant can spread to up to five feet wide. You can also plant it in containers or hanging baskets. In those planting scenarios, the Silver Pony Foot’s long vines will hang down to create a curtain of foliage.
This plant doesn’t produce flowers. Instead, its beauty comes from its leaves. It’s an evergreen herb that grows small silver-green leaves. The leaves have a subtle curl, creating a shrub-like density.
