This dainty, low growing ground cover forms a carpet of green with a profusion of starry flowers for most of the year in warmer areas and spring/summer in temperate areas.
An Australian native, Pratia White Star Creeper is frost hardy and can be grown in full sun or partial shade but does like adequate water. It grows 2 – 4cm in height and will accommodate light foot traffic.
