I knew about Silver Falls Dichondra but was never able to find any until I stumbled across some in our local garden center that carry Proven Winners. I have it as a spiller in a large container and it is fabulous! Whenever I walk past it, I just have to touch how utterly soft and full it is. Definitely a “winner” in my book !!!

Absolutely the softest grey green! It compliments my double pink impatients so well! Long tendrils of beauty!

I live in zone 7. This plant is gorgeous in hanging baskets, and trailing over containers. And, I can bring it in every year to winter-over easily. It just needs light and let the soil dry out a bit before watering.

This is easily one of my favorite container plants. It has such a pretty color. Paired it with Artemisia, Midnight Rose Coral Bells, Blue Delphinium, Dusty Miller and Diamond Frost Euphorbia in a concrete urn. This is easily my favorite color and texture combo. i plan to purchase it year after year. Zone 7b, in full sun.

This is the "eye catcher" in all of my pool deck planters. Everybody loves it's elegant look.

I love this plant. It's in a container that hangs above my head. It spills over so much that it reaches the ground. Quite a conversation item. It sways in the wind and is beautiful. It feels soft and cool.

Fool-proof plant. Never disappoints. Always looks great.

I have it in a container with Lambs ears, and it created (in no time) a very dramatic centerpiece for the garden. Gorgeous foliage spilling to the ground.
