Emerald Falls Dichondra

Dichondra micrantha 'Emerald Falls' (Dichondra micrantha 'Emerald Falls') is a lushly beautiful, vigorously cascading foliage perennial that transforms containers, hanging baskets, and raised bed edges into flowing curtains of rich, jewel-green color — its small, perfectly rounded, coin-shaped leaves trailing in dense, uninterrupted streams of fresh emerald green that cascade with effortless, natural grace from any elevated position. A botanical cousin to the well-known silver form, 'Emerald Falls' distinguishes itself with a rich, luminously fresh green that glows with a clean, cool vitality entirely its own — bringing a lush, tropical sense of abundance and verdant freshness to warm-season container and border designs without competing with or overwhelming the flowering companions it so beautifully frames and complements. The dense, uniform carpet of tiny rounded leaves creates a refined, finished quality in every arrangement it joins.

This professional-grade 4" plant arrives with a healthy, well-established root system cultivated through professional horticultural practices — ready to establish and begin its vigorous cascading growth. 'Emerald Falls' excels as a lush, trailing spiller in mixed patio containers and hanging baskets, as a refined ground cover in warm-climate garden beds, and as a softening, cascading edging plant over raised bed walls, retaining walls, and container edges where its dense streams of fresh emerald-green leaves create a polished, finished garden effect that elevates every surrounding element. Its rich green color harmonizes with virtually every companion flower color, functioning as a universal foliage foil of remarkable versatility.
