Pratia pedunculata White

Common Name:
White Star Creeper

Description:
Pratia pedunculata 'White', commonly known as White Star Creeper, is a hardy, low-growing ground cover that forms a dense mat of tiny green leaves, covered in delicate white star-shaped flowers from spring through autumn. This fast-spreading plant is ideal for filling gaps between pavers, as a lawn alternative, or for use in garden borders and rockeries. It thrives in well-draining soil and adapts well to both full sun and part shade. White Star Creeper is tolerant of light foot traffic, making it a practical and decorative choice for high-use areas. Once established, it requires minimal maintenance and is drought-tolerant, making it an excellent option for Melbourne gardens.
