Pratia Groundcover Pack County Park

Pratia 'County Park'

Overview

Pratia, commonly known as blue star creeper, is a versatile groundcover that thrives in various conditions. This particular variety is known for its lush, green foliage and charming blue flowers that bloom in spring and summer.

Growth Habit

County Park grows to a height of about 2 inches and spreads quickly, making it an excellent choice for filling in gaps in your garden or creating a lush carpet effect. Its dense growth habit effectively suppresses weeds, allowing it to thrive with minimal maintenance.

Light and Soil Requirements

This groundcover prefers partial to full shade and adapts well to various soil types, though it flourishes in moist, well-drained soils. Pratia is tolerant of drought once established, making it a resilient choice for diverse garden settings.

Uses

Ideal for borders, pathways, and between stepping stones, County Park can also be used in containers for a cascading effect. Its low growth habit makes it suitable for areas where taller plants may obstruct views or walkways. It will also tolerate moderate amounts of foot traffic.

Care Instructions

To ensure optimal growth, water regularly during dry spells and trim back any excessive growth as needed. Fertilizing once in the spring can promote vibrant growth and flowering.
