Kidney Weed 1kg (Dichondra repens) Fito Ground Cover Seed. Extremely popular decorative and attractive-looking type of lawn from the leading Spanish seed producer Semillas Fitó. It is the only broadleaf used as turf, is classified as a warm season, is planted in sunny, semi-shady and / or shady places, and adapts to a wide range of soil types. It has good-looking reniform leaves, while the plants spread on the sown area with surface and underground stolons (runners), creating a coarse-textured, dense, and low (5-10 cm) lawn, in conditions of full sunshine. In the shade, the plants grow to a height of about 15 cm. The Kidney Weed is suitable for sowing and installation in any suitable private, public or professional space (such as gardens, flower beds, terraces), but always in areas where the temperature in winter does not often fall below 0 °C. The Dichondra repens is sown in late spring and summer, when the soil temperature reaches 20 °C.
