Thanks guys for the positive response!
Dichondra"Silver falls" would have to be one of my very favourite groundcovers!!!!!!.
Only recently (on this site) have i discovered that it originally comes from New mexico.
I thought it was a native of my country...Australia.
We have the repens form (dark green and grows in the shade), but when the "argentea" form was released about two years ago, no-one could tell me where it stemed from.
Funny thing, the horticultural world, very quick to release something to make a quick dollar, without any idea as to backup info for plants.
I often wonder who is the better plants man(or women). is it the proffesional Nurseryman who brings out new and interesting varieties of plants?
Or is the hardworking gardener at home, who searches in the veins of Indiana Jones for those plants, then finds himself (or herself) having to research detailed information about that plant because the "proffessional" has neglected to provide valuable info for the correct care of the plant.?
I come across this a lot, I do so much research on my plants because even the best of Nurseries have no idea!!! Even online some plants just don't have much info, too bad. I try very hard when putting in a new plant in the plant data files to be as precise as possible, and the best to you, oh how I miss Australia, it was a very expensive trip, but maybe some day...Annie
does that gorgeous plant produce seeds ? if not is there anybody that would like to trade a rooted cutting with me ? if so please check my list of seeds at http://www.gardenpassion.net/soloaccion/details3.cfm?recordI... I may even be able to send small plants
