Dichondra

See text Dichondra is a small genus of flowering plants in the morning glory family, Convolvulaceae.

They are prostrate, perennial, herbaceous plants, with creeping stems which take root readily at the leaf nodes.

Members of the genus are commonly known as ponysfoots[2] and are native to tropical and cool temperate regions around the world.

The Dichondra argentea 'Silver Falls' cultivar is often used for trailing over the rims of potted plants, and has lower water needs.

In some habitats and landscapes of the United States, some of the non-native Dichondra species are treated as weeds.
