Pratia pedunculata County Park

Description

Dense prostrate growth is a bearing masses of deep blue, star shaped flowers from mid spring until late summer. Just 1cm (½″ high) at most it will spread to 60cm (2′) in rich, aerated, well drained soil with regular summer water. Spreads by underground stolons. Best performance is in part shade. Avoid the hottest driest sites.

Excellent for softening the edges of paths, between paving stones, rockeries, etc.
