Dymondia Silver Carpet

Growing a Silver Carpet Dymodia is easy with the right care. Silver Carpet Dymondia is a low-maintenance slow-growing plant that prefers well-drained soil and full sun to light shade. Dymondia may grow quicker with additional irrigation but be careful to not overwater.  Overwatering will negatively affect the growth of Dymondia.  It is a drought-tolerant ground cover but does not grow well in heavy clay soils or soggy soils with poor drainage. 

No pruning is necessary but quickly remove any weeds that make an appearance in your Dymondia ground cover. Slow-growing Silver Carpet may be no match for vigorous, aggressive weeds. 

Dymondia is not gopher-tolerant nor a gopher-deterrent, best to use another plant in an area where gophers are present.

Fertilize annually for optimum growth using an all-purpose fertilizer like Gardner & Bloome 4-4-4 Organic All Purpose Fertilizer and follow instructions on the package.
