Silver Ponysfoot (Dichondra argentea) is a low-growing, perennial herb that forms dense, trailing mats of silver-gray foliage with a metallic sheen. Reaching about 3 to 4 inches in height, this drought-tolerant plant thrives in well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. It is particularly useful as a groundcover for covering large areas, providing erosion control, and adding a unique visual element to open, sunny sites.
