Dicrondra – Kidney Weed

Question

I have a kidney weed ground cover instead of lawn. Unfortunately, I put too much fertilizer on it and it burnt. How can I revitalize it or do I need to dig it out?

Thanks, Judy

Answer 1

I would give it a good watering to help flush out the fertilizer. In theory, it should come back. It is a pretty hardy plant that is difficult to completely kill. But your yard may look pretty sparse for awhile and I am not sure how long you want it to look like that.
