    Does anyone still grow dichondra silver falls? It doesn't seem to be popular anymore. I can't seem to get it to germinate, I've tried in previous years with no luck and am on my second packet of seeds this year with only one just going into true leaves, my hopes are pinned on this, if I can get one plant then I think i can survive with cuttings.

    I grew it a few years back from plugs. I wasn't too impressed by the result so haven't bothered since.

        Grew it in a hanging basket quite a few years ago, like @JWK I bought some plugs. Took me 3 to get a half-decent display, I think. :scratch: I vaguely seem to remember that I didn't fancy growing them again because the top of the basket looked a tad flat when I was expecting it to look a bit bushier.

        Yes definitely, I know what you mean by the flatness, I'm thinking that can be rectified by something taller in the centre or something like Bacopa draping over the flat top.
