Blue Star Creeper
Pratia pedunculata (AKA Lobelia pedunculata)
4-inch pot
 
A delicate yet vigorous groundcover, blue star creeper forms a dense, low mat of tiny green leaves that create a soft, lawn-like appearance. In late spring through summer, it is dotted with small, pale blue star-shaped flowers that add a subtle but charming display. Its fine texture makes it ideal for filling gaps between stepping stones, softening edges, or creating a living carpet in small spaces.
 
This plant thrives in well-drained soil with consistent moisture and performs well in both sun and light shade. It tolerates light foot traffic, making it a popular choice for pathways and between pavers. Given the right conditions, it spreads steadily to create a uniform, attractive groundcover.
