Dymondia margaretae – Silver Carpet
One of the finest low-water groundcovers for warm climates, Dymondia margaretae Silver Carpet forms a dense, tight mat of narrow leaves that are dark green on top and silvery white beneath, creating a two-toned effect that shimmers in the breeze. In summer, small yellow daisy flowers dot the surface. Exceptionally tough and drought-tolerant, it withstands moderate foot traffic, making it an excellent lawn substitute, stepping stone filler, and slope stabilizer in Mediterranean-style gardens.
