Isotoma fluviatilis 'Alba' - White Star Creeper Ground Cover (48-Pack)
Isotoma fluviatilis 'Alba' is a stunning evergreen perennial ground cover featuring delicate white star-shaped flowers. This hardy plant forms a dense mat of vibrant green foliage that spreads quickly, creating a lush carpet effect across your garden. Growing to heights of 10-25cm, this low-maintenance ground cover thrives in partially shaded to lightly sunny locations.
Key Features & Benefits
This white-flowering variety offers exceptional versatility for landscaping projects. The fine-textured foliage creates a dense mat that tolerates moderate foot traffic, making it ideal for planting between stepping stones and along pathways. The small white flowers bloom from late spring through summer, adding fresh visual interest to borders, rock gardens, and container plantings.
Isotoma fluviatilis 'Alba' prefers moist, well-draining soil and adapts to various soil types including sandy, loamy, and clay soils. This fast-spreading ground cover excels at erosion control and weed suppression thanks to its vigorous growth habit. The plant spreads 12-24 inches wide, creating effective coverage for difficult garden areas under shrubs, trees, or perennials.
Growing Conditions
Plant in full sun to partial shade locations with consistently moist soil. While drought-tolerant once established, regular watering during establishment helps develop strong root systems. The plant benefits from afternoon shade in warmer growing zones. Apply general-purpose fertilizer in spring to support healthy growth. Hardy in zones 5-9, this evergreen perennial provides year-round interest in moderate climates.
Bulk Pack Advantages
This 48-pack of 9cm pots provides excellent coverage for larger landscaping projects. Space plants 12-18 inches apart for optimal coverage. The bulk quantity makes it economical for creating extensive ground cover installations, filling gaps in garden borders, or establishing lawn alternatives in moderate-traffic areas.
Planting & Care
For pathway installations, plant with soil level 1-1.5 inches below the walking surface to allow compression when stepped on. Divide clumps in early spring or fall to propagate. Trim back as needed to control growth and maintain compact appearance. This low-maintenance plant rarely suffers from pests or diseases when planted in well-draining locations.
