Dymondia margaretae

(Silver Carpet / Creeping Groundcover)

Product Description

Dymondia margaretae is a low-growing, mat-forming perennial prized for its dense, silver-green foliage and small bright yellow daisy-like flowers that bloom in summer. Its trailing, spreading habit makes it ideal for pathways, rockeries, between pavers, borders, and low-maintenance lawns, providing excellent soil coverage and weed suppression.
