Dichondra 'Emerald Falls' is a stunning trailing plant prized for its vibrant emerald-green foliage and graceful cascading habit. Forming long curtains of rounded leaves, it is perfect for hanging baskets, containers, retaining walls and mixed planters where it can spill beautifully over the edges.

How to maintain your Dichondra Emerald Falls once established?

Water regularly during establishment.

Once established, Emerald Falls is relatively drought tolerant but performs best with consistent moisture during active growth.

Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings.

Apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser in spring.
Feed container-grown plants regularly during the growing season.
Apply compost around garden-grown plants annually.

Dichondra Emerald Falls responds well to trimming.

To maintain a dense, attractive appearance:

Trim long stems if they become too straggly.
Lightly prune throughout the growing season.
Remove damaged or dead growth as required.

Regular trimming encourages fuller growth.

Emerald Falls tolerates light frosts but may be affected by prolonged freezing conditions.

In colder areas:

Plant in sheltered locations.
Protect container-grown plants during severe frosts.
Trim damaged foliage in spring once new growth appears.

Hanging baskets are where Emerald Falls truly shines.

For spectacular displays:

Plant alone for a cascading foliage feature.
Combine with flowering annuals and perennials.
Use elevated containers to showcase the trailing habit.
Feed regularly during the growing season.

Its vibrant green foliage provides the perfect backdrop for colourful flowering plants.
