Pratia Macrodon

Pratia Macrodon Details

Pratia Macrodon is a NZ native that is commonly grown as a hardy ground cover. The small leaves on this plant give the appearance of a lush, green carpet. During spring through autumn, masses of small, white, star shaped flowers cover the plant. It typically grows to 10 cm tall and will spread to 70 cm over 2-3 years. Best performance with this plant is achieved when it is grown in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of dry periods and light frost once established. Pratia Macrodon is commonly used as a ground cover, an alternative to a grass lawn, included in white and cottage gardens, or planted between paving stones and the like. It also looks amazing when grown in a hanging basket and allowed to trail over the sides.
