Dichondra repens.

Dichondra repens, also known as lawn leaf, is a popular substitute for grass. It's a perennial ground cover that forms a lush carpet of small, bright green, kidney-shaped leaves.

Its trailing stems root wherever the nodes touch the ground. Its inconspicuous flowers produce seeds that can remain in the soil for many years before sprouting. Dichondra repens, adaptable to the terrain, requires minimal maintenance and is useful in places where regular grass may not perform as well. It's particularly attractive between paving stones and can tolerate light foot traffic.

A great alternative to traditional grass, its primary advantage over grass is that it only needs to be mowed 3 or 4 times a year. It can also be used in rock gardens. It grows up to 5 cm in height.

This hardy plant is easy to cultivate and is generally free of pests and diseases. It thrives best in full sun or partial shade and well-drained soil. Once established, it requires deep, infrequent watering, allowing the plants to dry slightly between waterings.

When used in lawn situations, it can be mowed for a smooth finish. It's a plant native to Australia.

In summary, Dichondra repens is an excellent choice for those seeking a low-maintenance and attractive alternative to traditional grass. Its history of adaptability and ease of care makes it a valuable addition to landscaping and gardening. Whether it's between paving stones or as ground cover in your garden, Dichondra repens adds a distinctive touch to your landscape.
