Questions & Answers
Can I overseed a semi-sparse Bermudagrass area with this? I?d like to begin choking out the bermuda over time.
Thank you for reaching out to us. You can overseed with this dichondra. It will coexist for a time but most likely the Bermuda will be dominant in the turf area.
You can overseed with this dichondra. It will coexist with the grass and possibly take over, though possibly you might want to tip the balance by spraying with Grass B Gone. Test in a small area to make sure it doesn't damage the dichondra.
Looking for a micro clover that doesn?t bloom is this the right seed.
Yes!! Ive had it in three different kinds of lit areas and three different garden spaces. The only place I haven?t experimented with it is in Summer in full sun in all day locations.
Micro Clover puts up minimal flowers
Will this grow in California zone 10A and can I use this for over seeding my lawn?
Thank you for your question. Dichondra will grow in your climate zone. It is a warm season ground cover that should be planted between April and September. You can overseeding an existing lawn but it does require regular watering to survive as it is shallow rooted.
How well will it grow in zone 8 (Arlington, Tx)?
Dichondra requires lots of water especially during the hot summer months. Does not do well in frost. It will burn and die. It's a cool season plant.
Poisonous?
The dichondra that we sell, Dichondra repens, is not toxic.
What is the difference between seed and the "silver flat
there isn't much of a difference it's actually the same plant. With seed there is a cost differential and thus a savings in the area that you want to plant. dichondra these days is used a lot for planting in between paver stones and using a seed planting application makes a lot more sense for even broadcast and distribution and a happier growing outcome. thank you for your question regarding Stover Seed Company
I live in Gilbert, Arizona. Have seen Dichondra growing in some places. Will this product grow here and in lots of shade
Dichondra will grow in shade but not in complete shade. Most grasses require either morning or afternoon light to be able to grow. If there is some daylight available in your area you should be ok. The nice thing about Dichondra in AZ is that it can handle the intense heat and still thrive. Thank you
