This wide mowed path is quite wonderful. It probably wasn't always flanked by tall grasses left to go wild but it transitioned perfectly. The old house is charming too. Enjoy your Sunday and picture me hiding in my my cottage with the air conditioning running with three days of temps in the 90s coming up. Stay cool. xo

Dichondra is the perfect groundcover for warm climates. It doesn't need to be mowed, it's soft and squishy to play on, can be walked on, and it fills in awkward spaces. Dichondra looks something like dense clover, only greener and softer. It spreads by underground runners but doesn't get carried away. It just fills in where it's needed and looks good. It does best in full sun with deep, occasional watering, but will thrive in the shade, though it will grow taller and lanky. It won't tolerate a freeze, but is permanent in zones 9-11. Keep it fed and weeded in the beginning and it will crowd out weeds ever after. Dichondra is a great filler in container gardens, at the edge of a flower bed, between pavers in walkways. One pack will cover about 25 sq feet. For bigger spaces, find our listing to one pound packs. Growing Directions: Scuffle up bare soil, broadcast the seed evenly, cover with ¼” of soil. Water evenly. No pre-treatment needed for germination. Sow seeds just below soil surface at 70F and water. 500 seeds **All seeds ship for one price! Click here to see more: www.etsy.com/shop/SmartSeeds
