Blue Star Creeper
Pratia pedunculata (AKA Lobelia pedunculata)
4-inch pot
A vigorous evergreen perennial from Australia, quickly forms a wide mat of tiny rounded leaves,with short-stalked sky-blue star-shaped flowers in summer. Tolerant of light foot traffic, Blue Star Creeper is a great choice for pathways and between stepping stones and makes a good choice for growing over walls, in rock gardens, and mixed containers. Protect from slugs.
It makes an excellent living mulch; the dense soil cover it provides keeps out weeds. Evergreen in the PNW. Bee-magnet when blooming. Note: Some gardeners have found its ability to spread to be a nuisance.
