Lobelia pedunculata Country Park

“Country Park” is a fast growing groundcover. This vigorous plant grows as a mat with the horizontal stems forming roots wherever they come in contact with soil. The stems carry small and rounded, dark green leaves which are adorned with masses of small, blue flowers through spring and summer. This herbaceous perennial typically grows to 10 cm tall and 60 cm wide, performing best when planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. It does not like dry periods and will tolerate moderate frost once established. It may die back during winter but will regrow again in spring. “Country Park” is commonly used as a groundcover, included in rock gardens, grown between pavers, or planted to trail from a container.

Why Choose Lobelia pedunculata ‘Country Park’?

Lobelia pedunculata ‘Country Park’ stands out with its dense, spreading habit and prolific display of petite blue flowers. Capable of withstanding light foot traffic, this groundcover is perfect for creating living mulch in sunny or partially shaded areas. Not only does it suppress weeds, but it also knits seamlessly around pavers and rocks, remaining evergreen throughout most New Zealand conditions. Unlike other spreading groundcovers, blue star creeper rarely becomes invasive, making it a reliable companion for mixed borders or beside gravel paths.

Planting and Care Tips for Blue Star Creeper

For optimal results, plant your blue star creeper in moist, well-drained soil, ideally where it will receive plenty of light but be protected from the harshest midday sun. Water regularly during dry periods, particularly as the plant becomes established, but avoid waterlogging. Blue star creeper thrives both as a dense groundcover and between cobbles in formal gardens or natural cottage-style landscapes. It pairs beautifully with shade-loving perennials like Hosta Aphrodite, or can be used alongside sun-lovers such as Agapanthus Luly (Lily Of The Nile) for a striking contrast.

Companion Planting Ideas

Blue star creeper is the perfect groundcover companion for a range of garden plants. For New Zealand natives, consider planting alongside Lobelia angulata (Panakenake) for a textured tapestry of blues and greens. If you’re drawn to bold flower spikes, Lobelia cardinalis Queen Victoria (Cardinal Flower) or Lobelia speciosa provide a stunning vertical accent. For a low-maintenance, pollinator-friendly border, combine blue star creeper with Thymus praecox Coccineus (Red Creeping Thyme) or the graceful blue tones of Iris Ceasers Brother (Siberian Iris).
