Isotoma White Star Creeper

An enchanting beauty, Isotoma White Star Creeper is a perennial evergreen groundcover that adds a touch of magic to your garden all year round. From late spring to late summer, this captivating plant transforms into a heavenly carpet of small starry white flowers, nestled amidst a lush blanket of fine-textured green foliage.

As a Isotoma fluviatilis alba variety, also known as the white star creeper, laurentia, or swamp isotome, this plant boasts a low-growing, expansive habit and a moderate growth rate. When massed together, it creates a stunning visual effect, making it an excellent choice for underplanting and erosion control. Its resilience to foot traffic also makes it perfect for lining pathways, filling gaps between paving stones, or replacing traditional turf lawns in moderate climates. Whether you're designing a rock garden, border, or container garden, the White Star Creeper is a versatile addition to any landscape.

Requiring minimal maintenance, White Star Creeper thrives in sunny to partially shady locations with consistently moist, well-drained soil. It's adaptable to a variety of soil types, including clay, sandy, and rocky terrains, and can withstand full sun exposure in colder climates, provided it's adequately watered. While deadheading isn't necessary, a thorough shearing to about 1-inch tall in late fall can help maintain its neat appearance throughout winter. To make new plantings, in early spring, break plants apart into small pieces.
