Dicondra argentea is a
native to the Desert Southwest. It can be found growing native in Texas, New Mexico and into Northern
Mexico. When I think of a traditional Dichondra lawn my first
thought is how much water is required. With this desert version too
much water can be a problem. Good drainage or drying out periods
between irrigation cycles are a must for Dichondra argentea. Cold
will not be a problem in California gardens except in high altitude
locations.
