Rewilding My Lot

Converting a new developer lot into a nature ecosystem — my journey


New Spring Growth: Silver Ponyfoot

In late October last year, I planted three small specimens of Silver Ponyfoot (Dichondra argentea) in the front pollinator garden. This is a sun-loving native groundcover with white flowers and grey/green-colored leaves that have a metallic appearance in sunlight. During the winter it froze back but did not die. All three plants are showing new growth from the roots. Hopefully with more time to establish this year, they will cover more ground and become more resilient.

I invite you to join me on my journey to convert my sterile (from a nature point of view) new house lot to a healthy and diverse ecosystem, as I make discoveries, mistakes, and hopefully progress. I am not an expert or professional. The project started in February 2023 and the location is Seguin, Texas, USA.
