Horseshoe gold
Horseshoe gold, scientifically known as *Dichondra repens* (Porst), is also commonly referred to as American horseshoe gold or simply horseshoe grass. It is a popular ground cover plant, often used in ornamental landscaping. (See Figure 3-32 for visual reference.)
1. **Characteristics**
Horseshoe gold belongs to the Convolvulaceae family and is a perennial dicot herb. The plant grows low to the ground, with a well-developed fibrous root system and numerous stolons that can root at the nodes. This makes it an excellent ground cover, reaching a height of only 5–15 cm. Its leaves are basal, slender, and kidney-shaped, with unequal sizes. They are hairless, flat, and measure 1–3 cm in diameter. Although it produces seeds in summer and autumn, the seed set rate is relatively low.
This plant thrives in warm, humid climates and has strong shade tolerance. It adapts well to various soil types but performs best in fertile conditions. If nutrients are lacking, the leaves may turn yellow, reducing coverage. Horseshoe gold can tolerate some cold and is cultivated in eastern China. During winter, the foliage may fade and some upper leaves might turn brown, but it generally survives without issue. In summer, it remains mostly evergreen. It is also drought-tolerant and should be planted in low-traffic areas due to its sensitivity to trampling.
2. **Cultivation**
Horseshoe gold is widely used in the southern United States, Europe, and New Zealand for both ornamental lawns and traffic-resistant grass areas. It was introduced to China in Guangzhou in 1980 and has since been successfully adapted to regions south of the Yangtze River.
In practical cultivation, it is mainly propagated through stolons, typically planted at a ratio of 1:8. It has strong spreading ability and requires minimal maintenance. However, regular weeding is essential—early removal of weeds ensures better coverage. It does not perform well on wet or compacted soils and needs consistent watering and moderate fertilization. When mowed to a height of 1.3–2.5 cm, it forms a dense, fine-bladed turf. If left longer, between 3.8–5 cm, it develops larger leaves with less coverage.
In China, it is primarily used in small-scale ornamental applications such as flower beds, garden paths, and rock gardens. It’s also ideal for courtyard landscapes and small event spaces. Due to its attractive appearance and adaptability, it has become a favored choice for low-maintenance, visually appealing turf.
