Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

  • 100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
  • 140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
  • 5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Description

Dichondra repens, commonly known as Kidney Weed, is a low-growing groundcover that creates a dense carpet of small, kidney-shaped green leaves, perfect for filling in between pavers or as a soft, resilient lawn alternative. It’s well-suited for Perth gardens, thriving in full sun to part shade, and adds year-round greenery with minimal upkeep. Ideal for garden beds, between stepping stones, and as a groundcover in outdoor spaces, Kidney Weed is a versatile choice for low-maintenance landscaping.

Plant in well-drained, slightly sandy soil for best results, and water moderately during establishment. Once established, this hardy plant requires minimal water, making it highly drought-tolerant. A light application of slow-release fertiliser in early spring (Djilba) will encourage lush, healthy growth. Kidney Weed is a great choice for gardens where a soft, easy-care groundcover is desired.
