Anyone else but Dichondra Repens seeds and not get Dichondra?

Anyone else but Dichondra Repens seeds and not get Dichondra?

Hi all. I purchased and planted a second packet of Dichondra Repens and what has germinated is definitely not Dichondra. Has anyone else had the same issue and do you know what plant it ended up being?

 

I am trying to decide whether I should pull it up and start again or if whatever is coming up could work instead. 

 

As background, I am certain the second batch isn't Dichondra as the leaves are completely different. Also positive that what I am seeing is from the seeds and not something that came with the dirt or whatever as I planted these seeds in a specific pattern/spot (a circle between pavers) and the rest of the space still doesn't have any growth. 

 

Thanks!

Re: Anyone else but Dichondra Repens seeds and not get Dichondra?

Hi @VanTovey,

 

I'm so sorry to hear there's been an issue with your Dichondra seeds.

 

I presume they are our Mr. Fothergill's Dichondra Seeds, so I have reached out to the supplier with your images. There can be mix-ups from time to time, and they'll take a look at them, verify that they are not Dichondra (though it sounds like you've already done so), and then post you a replacement pack of seeds.

 

At this early stage, it's probably not possible to positively identify the plant and whether it would be a suitable replacement.

 

I do apologise for the inconvenience.

 

Mitchell

Thanks so much, Mitchell. Yes, they are Mr Fothergill's.

Appreciate you reaching out to them.
