Will dichondra grow in shade? I want to plant under a bunch of oak trees to prevent soil erosion.

I planted in mine in a spot where it never got any sun period- not a bit of sun ever, ever. It grew, maybe I didn't water it as uch as I should have because it started dying so that was my fault, I just got lazy. But it grows in shade.

In phoenix area it seems to be growing in shade better than full sun areas. Additionally I believe it grows naturally as a rain forest floor in tropical climates. I can not say at this point how it reacts to frost/freezing temps.

I planted this grass seed last July. It is beautiful, but it's only in partial shade so I don't know. I'd call the company and find out. They were responsive when I called re another question.

We keep ours in the shade of an oak tree in the summer. I'm sure in the sun it would be hot.

I don't see any reason why it would not respond well in zone 7. I live in Phoenix, and the only area the dichondra is not growing as well is in direct sunlight all day. Therefore, I think it would grow well in a more temperate climate.

The area we used it in is very dense shade. Put it down and keeping it moist. Within a week and a half we have sprouted! The jury is still out though, but this looks very promising compared to other seed we have purchased.

I planted mine last year in full shade and soil is somewhat hard. They came up this year and are close to 1ft. I'm really enjoying this truly different hosta.

I would. We have sand and foam padding under ours and still have problems with roots, rocks, and clay. Does not prevent anything from growing thru it.

My lichen are struggling in my sunroom under shade of a tree. They are living but don't seem to be growing larger or spreading. I plan to move them to my greenhouse in a brighter light but not direct light. Good luck. I love these little cup like lichen.

Yes, but they need lots of sun . Spritz them a lot . They will probably get leggy, sparse leaves though.

I cut down two maple trees so that I could have some kind of green in my front yard. The clover took right away, and loved the full sun. I also sowed under a nearby sugar maple, and it came in thin. I'm anxious to see what everything looks like, once spring comes to Michigan (at this rate, probably May). I'd say it needs full sun.

I don't know, as I am using as a planter. I drilled holes in the bottom and filled with dirt and mulch. This way you don't have to get on your hands and knees to plant and maintain.

Probably not if you just plant and leave it. Beware, this is a coastal redwood and requires winter protection. If you want to try something to plant in the ground shoot for dawn redwood. This has a better chance.

Much like using a slightly different shade of paint on a wall that meets at the corner of another color is "OK" because it looks invisible on account of the shade patterns, grass can be the same way. There's no way to tell what your soil composition and weather patterns will make a grass look like until it comes up. I know that if you are not getting 4 hours of sun per day, you have to use a shade resistant seed or you'll not have healthy grass and roots. It's trade off. I say, use the grass seed if you are not getting 4 hours of sun per day.

It will provide shade but tomatoes generally like full sun, when watered properly. It will also create heat if there is no air outlet. Good luck!!

Yes it is. We planted six plants last November around an arbor that is in complete shade. By now, the plants have pretty leww covered the walls and some of the roof. I am very pleased.

The sun doesn't shine through .. I would recommend plants that do well in the shade for under the sail. I am not putting my sail up this year because it did not hang properly and sagged in the middle.

Depends on your zone. Check the plants zone and your zone in udsa website. But I would assume that you wouldn't have any issue in any climate if you left it in a pot and only placed it outside during the sumner. Remember no direct sun light or at the least very little.

Not always. Good thing to do IF you have sunshine is to lay it down on the grass. It will flatten out in a few hours.
