Pratia pedunculata Blue

Common Name:
Blue Star Creeper

Description:
Pratia pedunculata 'Blue', commonly known as Blue Star Creeper, is a low-growing, mat-forming ground cover that produces a dense carpet of tiny, star-shaped blue flowers from spring through autumn. Its small, bright green leaves create a soft, cushion-like effect, making it an excellent choice for filling gaps between pavers, as a lawn alternative, or for planting in rockeries and garden borders. Thriving in well-drained soil, it performs well in both full sun and part shade. This hardy and fast-spreading plant is tolerant of foot traffic, making it ideal for high-use areas. Once established, it requires minimal maintenance and is drought-tolerant, making it a perfect choice for Melbourne gardens.
