Product Description

Three Seasons of Blooms — and You Can Walk on Them! Evergreen in mild and warm climates. (Synonym Laurentia fluviatilis) Blue Star Creeper is a necessity in any sunny spot where foot traffic threatens to crush other plants. It quickly forms a dense, mat-like carpet of foliage topped three seasons every year with tiny stars of pale blue to white. Quick-growing and adaptable, it's a very versatile, attractive choice. The foliage is deep green and very slender, serving as cushiony coverage for bare soil. It fills in between paving-stones, covers spring bulb gardens beautifully, and always looks fresh and new. The 1/2-inch blooms sit atop the foliage, facing straight up, in numbers so immense it would be a job to count them. Expect them in waves from spring through fall. Remaining evergreen in warm climates, Blue Star Creeper thrives in moist soil but tolerates wetter conditions, especially once established. It cannot be walked upon constantly, but doesn't mind the occasional footfall or pawprint! A very useful plant for sunny to lightly shaded garden spots, it reaches just 4 to 6 inches high but spreads 12 to 18 inches wide. Zones 5-10.

    Healthy plants

    Shipping was quick and plants arrived beautiful and healthy. I was able to divide each quart into 4 “plugs” and now I have 16 new plants along my stepping stones. Very pleased with my plants.

    Beautiful plants

    Very happy to have found what I was looking for. The plants had well developed root systems that made them easy to divide. That are doing well in their new home. They need watering quite often, but that's ok.

    Isotoma-Blue Star Creeper Flowering Groundcover

    Posted by Kathy B. Roseville, CA (near Sacramento) on Apr 11th 2017

    I always hesitate with Hirt's due to the shipping charges, but when buying several items, they are very reasonable and the shipping is SUPER FAST. I've always been happy with the quality of the product and this is no exception. The qt. pot is big enough to divide at least 4 times for plugs in and around my stepping stones. The snails love this little beauty too so beware. Seems to like to be watered or shaded in our hot afternoon (zone 9b) Summer sun. Beautiful, hearty groundcover. Delighted with Hirt's products and excellent service!
