Thread: Ground Cover Needed

I would like to find a source in Thailand for a ground cover called Silver Carpet. The Latin name is Dymondia Margaretae. It is just perfect for Thailand and is currently very popular in the U.S., South Africa (native there) and Australia. It can take foot traffic and only grows 1 inch tall. It grows in hot sun or partial sun and can live in semi wet to semi dry after established. The best part is that it is not invasive. I want to plant it between paving stones in my yard as permeable paving.

I live outside Krabi town but any source which could possible ship to me would be wonderful. I already know that seed for this is not sold--just plugs.

For some reason the rules say that I cannot post an attachment, but if you google the Latin name you should be able to see what I am talking about. Thanks

I might start really exploring online Thai nurseries...[Google Thai]

A better chance that you will have to order from overseas.
Beware of sending plantlife to Thailand - customs, agricultural rules, and whatnot.

I'm interested so keep us informed when you find out. Also do 2 more posts then you can post pictures.

I will keep you posted.

Hi: I do not want to hassle with the import fees/regulations unless I have to, so I was hoping to locate a source in Thailand. I wonder how hard it would be to get something from Australia. Any comment?
