Tips from Fran
Pratia County Park is much slower than our regular Blue Star Creeper-which could be good or bad depending on what you are looking for. Still has the same dense foliage, but has a much more dark blue flower.
~This is in our exception category for Under Trees and Shrubs as it will be very happy under a tree if is allowed to get ample sunlight. In deep shade this plant will not work, but many trees/shrubs do give enough filtered light to make it work.
