Why Grow Pratia 'Country Park'?

A variety of Pratia angulata, Pratia 'Country Park' is ideal for New Zealand conditions. It thrives in both full sun and part shade and tolerates a variety of soils, from loamy to clay-rich types.

Unlike some groundcovers, Pratia 'Country Park' spreads quickly but is easy to manage, making it a top pick for both novice and experienced gardeners.

Key Features:

• Prolific blue star-shaped blooms from late spring to early autumn
• Dense, low-growing mat ideal for suppressing weeds
• Handles foot traffic—perfect for planting between pavers
• Evergreen foliage for year-round colour

Whether you want to create a living pathway, fill spaces between stepping stones, or soften the edges of garden beds, Pratia 'Country Park' adapts beautifully. It is particularly effective as a lawn alternative in lightly trafficked spaces, requiring much less mowing and watering than traditional turf.

You can also pair Pratia 'Country Park' with other attractive groundcover plants such as Pratia pedunculata 'alba' for white blooms, or Pratia angulata to mix and match forms and shades. For a stunning blue effect, try combining with Pratia 'Country Park Blue'.

Growing and Care Tips

Pratia angulata blue star creeper prefers well-drained, fertile soil but is adaptable to most garden conditions. It will appreciate some moisture, especially in dry spells, but copes well with short periods of drought once established. Prune gently if it spreads beyond its intended area, or simply let it weave naturally through your landscape. Avoid excessive shade for best flowering.

For creative planting schemes, consider contrasting Pratia 'Country Park' with larger-leaved or silver foliage plants like Cupressus Greenstead Magnificent and Juniperus Emerald Ruffles.
