Pratia pendunculata Alba lives up to its name as Super Star Creeper! This little STEPABLES Creeping Perennial is packed full of all the same great qualities as its big brother Blue Star Creeper...but with even more blooms! Pratia Alba has super tight, small green leaves that weave a dense mat on top of the ground and underneath, making it a superb selection for a lawn substitution. Bright white, tiny flowers completely encompass this amazing ground covering perennial in late spring and throughout summer. Plant in between stones, over flower bulb, and makes a spectaular fairy garden grass. Excellent creeeping perennial to use as a bark/mulch substitute around shrubs.
