It prefers full sun, and it can handle light foot traffic. Dichondra has a creeping growth habit and stays low to the ground. The leaves are circular and bright green. Dichondra ground cover seed can be started directly outside. Wait until temperatures are in the 70Fs during the day and 50Fs at night.
