Dichondra ‘Silver Nickel Vine’ is a trailing foliage annual, prized for its small, round, silvery leaves with a satin finish.
Its soft, luminous foliage creates an elegant cascading effect in hanging baskets, window boxes, and mixed containers. It is ideal for softening colorful arrangements or highlighting vibrant flowers.
Very heat tolerant, it prefers full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil. It tolerates drier periods well once established.
