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.

  • Lush Cascading Streams of Rich Emerald Green: Small, perfectly rounded coin-shaped leaves trail in dense, uninterrupted streams of fresh emerald green — a lush, vigorously cascading foliage display of jewel-toned green richness that transforms containers, hanging baskets, and raised edges with an effortless, tropical sense of abundance and verdant vitality.
  • Universal Foliage Companion: The rich, fresh emerald-green color harmonizes effortlessly with virtually every flower color and foliage tone in the warm-season palette — functioning as a universally complementary foliage foil that frames and enriches every flowering companion it accompanies without competing or overpowering.
  • Outstanding Container Spiller & Basket Trailer: The vigorous, cascading growth habit makes 'Emerald Falls' one of the most effective and visually rewarding container spillers and basket trailers available — dense streams of rich green leaves cascade gracefully from any elevated position to create a polished, finished, lush container effect.
  • Heat Tolerant & Vigorous: Thrives in the full heat of summer and grows vigorously throughout the warm season — a reliable, self-sufficient foliage performer that requires minimal care to deliver a lush, densely cascading green display from planting through the first frost.
  • Refined Ground Cover in Warm Climates: In mild, frost-free garden climates, 'Emerald Falls' spreads readily to create a dense, fine-textured, weed-suppressing evergreen ground cover carpet of fresh emerald-green — a low-maintenance, refined lawn alternative for small areas and garden bed surfaces.

These 4" healthy live plants thrive in full sun to partial shade with well-drained, average to fertile soil and moderate moisture; tolerates a range of light conditions but produces the densest, most vigorously cascading growth in full sun to bright partial shade. Water regularly during establishment and through summer heat. Treat as a tender perennial or warm-season annual depending on climate; frost-sensitive. USDA Hardiness Zones 9–12; grown as a warm-season annual in cooler climates. Mature trailing length: 12–24 inches or more. Pinch back lightly if needed to encourage branching and a full, dense cascading habit.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days.
