Pratia puberula Alba

Pratia puberula Alba, also known as Lobelia benthamii Alba, is a dainty vigorous growing groundcover that adds a touch of elegance to any garden. Tiny, star-shaped white flowers bloom profusely, creating a carpet of pure white flowers against the dense mat of dark green foliage. 

This New Zealand native is tight-growing and great for inhibiting weeds. It is excellent as ground cover, in rock gardens, or filling in gaps between stepping stones. It thrives in a variety of conditions, from full sun to partial shade, and prefers moist, well-drained soil. It's also tolerant of wet conditions, making it a great choice for areas near ponds or streams.

Typically grows to a height of 10cm and 50cm wide.
