Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Pratia angulata is quite the creeper (in a good way)! White, star-shaped flowers cover a mat of ground-hugging, succulent, dark-green leaves. Roots when stems come in contact with the soil. Can spread indefinitely over time. Grows best in moist, well-drained soil with average water. White Star Creeper makes an excellent, dense groundcover or is great interplanted between spring flowering bulbs. Also good as filler between stepping stones. Tolerates varying amounts of foot traffic.
