Pratia pedunculata, commonly known as Blue Star Creeper or Star Creeper, is a beautiful low-growing ground cover prized for its delicate star-shaped flowers and spreading carpet-like growth.

This charming plant forms a soft green mat that becomes dotted with tiny star-shaped blooms throughout the warmer months. The classic form produces soft blue flowers and is widely known as Blue Star Creeper, while a white flowering form is known as White Star Creeper or Pratia White Star Creeper.

Both varieties share the same attractive creeping habit, making them perfect for filling spaces between stepping stones, softening garden edges, and creating lush living carpets in garden beds.
