Dichondra repens or Kidney Weed is an evergreen perennial herb, that only grows to to 4cms in height, making an effective ground-cover for shady areas..
The leaves are distinctly kidney-shaped and its creeping habit is due to its ability to form roots at stem nodes as they touch the ground.
The spring to summer, tiny yellowy-green flowers are produced though generally considered to be insignificant.
Sometimes seen in pastures, woodlands and forests, it will grow where bare ground is available and/or competition is minimal, especially in shaded areas under trees.
