Native to coastal plant communities, open slopes, and moist grasslands, it brings a soft, tidy texture to small-scale groundcover and meadow plantings. Tiny greenish-white spring flowers are understated but interesting among the foliage. Once popular as a lawn substitute, California ponysfoot also offers possibilities for green roofs and walls where a low, spreading plant is desirable. It spreads by runners, so give it room rather than placing it where strict containment is needed. Grow in full sun on the immediate coast and light shade elsewhere, with moderate summer water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvergreen perennial groundcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalifornia native, including North Bay coastal plant communities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRounded green leaves form a dense mat along creeping stems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiny greenish-white flowers in spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpreads by runners; not suited to tightly contained spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful for open slopes, headlands, small groundcover areas, and meadow plantings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePotential candidate for green roofs and walls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormerly used as a lawn alternative\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull sun on the immediate coast; light shade elsewhere\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModerate summer water recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 3–6 inches | Spread: 2–4 feet, spreading by runners\u003cbr\u003eExposure: Full sun on the immediate coast; light shade elsewhere | Water: Moderate summer water\u003cbr\u003eBloom time: Spring | Bloom color: Greenish-white\u003cbr\u003eCold hardiness: Approximately 30°F\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Russian River Rootworks","offers":[{"title":"4\"","offer_id":44081609801782,"sku":"DICHONDRA-DONELLIANA-4IN","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 Gal","offer_id":44147686441014,"sku":"DICHONDRA-DONELLIANA-1GAL","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/4693\/0486\/files\/dichondradionella.jpg?v=1792948597","url":"https:\/\/russianriverrootworks.com\/products\/dichondra-donelliana-california-ponysfoot","provider":"Russian River Rootworks ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
