Dichondra is the perfect ground cover for warm climates. It doesn't need to be mowed, is soft and squishy to play on, can be walked on, and fills awkward spaces. Dichondra looks something like dense clover, only greener and softer. It spreads by underground runners but doesn't get carried away. It just fills in where it's needed and looks good. It does best in full sun with deep, occasional watering, but will thrive in the shade, though it will grow taller and lanky. It won't tolerate a freeze,
