Dymondia

Botanical Name: Margaretea

Native to the coastal plains of South Africa, Dymondia margaretea is a slowly spreading evergreen perennial forming a dense silvery-green mat over time and choking out virtually all weeds. Growing no more than 1-3 in. tall its tiny and narrow, gray-green leaves curl slightly, exposing the white underside of the leaves and conferring a variegated look. Small yellow daisy flowers appear nestled amongst the foliage in summer. This hardy little plant tolerates foot traffic making it a great choice for filling in around pavers in a garden walkway or replacing the lawn.
