Start your Dichondra seeds indoors 12 weeks before the last frost date in your area. Press the seeds into the soil but don't totally cover them, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination occurs, which should take around 2 weeks. 
Dichondra ground cover seed can be directly started in a prepared seedbed. The soil temperature needs to be 70F for good germination. The Dichondra seeds need to stay moist but not saturated until germination.
Dichondra is drought-hardy and grows best in full sun.
You'll find that others say that the dichondra is somewhat easy to grow, and that "somewhat" usually refers to the first part of the plant lifecycle: germination, carrying for seedlings, and pricking out. This first part may be challenging, as the timing from planting seeds to seedlings ready to be transplanted may test your patience and devotion. Dichondra at the beginning of its lifecycle grows very slowly, it does take its time and sometimes has a mind on its own. After young plants are established, it is true that dichondra is easy to grow and becomes a fast grower once mature. So we say that you need to "tame" the dichondra.
Some dichondra enthusiasts soak the seeds for a few hours or overnight before sowing in plain water. Some use adaptogen or seed growth stimulators (phytohormone). Some soak in a rooting hormone available for sale in Home Depot/Lowes/Amazon. Some use diluted honey.
Some growers moisten the soil with very hot, almost boiling water, wait for it to cool down a bit, and then sow seeds. They say it softens the dichondra seed hull and lets the moisture penetrate it more easily later. This awakens the seed and should be done only once. They also say using hot or boiling water disinfects the soil and minimizes the development of mold or rot.
Some push the dichondra seeds into the mix and then sprinkle them over with the soil to loosely cover them, so the seeds are covered with moisture all around, but yet the thin layer of soil on top still allows the seed to be exposed to the light.
Some hobbyists sprout the dichondra seeds using covered moistened cotton rounds first, they say it's easier for them to control how wet these rounds are. Once they see new sprouts, they transplant the seeds into the soil and continue keeping them under the lid in the moist soil till they see sets of real leaves come out.
Some use the heating mats to help dichondra germination, while others are against using the heating mats, they believe that the temperature of the soil should be a bit colder than air (with all moist evaporation) and that the seeds are sensitive to this difference as to a trigger a sprout.
As you can see there are a few ways to "tame" dichondra; people are experimenting and finding what works best for them. And this is what makes it an exciting personal achievement in addition to the beautiful plant that you get in the end.
