Add item to quote to see pricing

Isotoma fluviatilis is a no-fuss groundcover that earns its nickname, Blue Star Creeper, thanks to an enchanting blanket of miniature, star-shaped lavender-blue flowers that comes alive during late spring and summer. Proudly hailing from Australia, this evergreen charmer forms a lush and near flat carpet of densely-packed, bright green leaves - a verdant mosaic that's not just delightful to behold but also tough enough to stand up to foot traffic. From fully sun-lit spaces to partial shade, the Blue Star Creeper is as flexible as it is beautiful, thriving in a range of light conditions, just as long as it's nestled in well-drained soil. It fans out up to 18 inches, gracefully filling in gaps in rock gardens or between stepping stones, and effortlessly cascades over the edges of containers. It's not merely a plant; the Isotoma fluviatilis is a stylish, enduring solution for any groundcover needs with its minimalist height of up to 3 inches and moderate water usage. Trust in this star, it's designed to flourish and excel in your landscape.
