Isotoma Fluviatilis (blue Star Creeper) Care

Water. Blue star creeper can be described as having medium water needs. It is known for being drought tolerant but thrives with adequate moisture in the summer months. During the summer, keep the soil moist with regular watering to support strong growth.

Shearing the foliage of a blue star creeper to about one inch tall in the late fall will help to keep the plant tidy throughout the winter and in the spring as new growth emerges. Other than this optional upkeep, blue star creeper is a low-maintenance perennial that does not require deadheading - flowering throughout the spring and summer continuously without assistance.

Heavy fertilization is not required for blue star creeper. In fact, fertilizing blue star creeper too often can encourage aggressive growth which often becomes invasive. Fertilizing once at the beginning of the growing season with an all-purpose fertilizer will help to encourage strong new growth.

Blue star creeper is a resilient, cold-hardy plant that can withstand temperatures as low as -4 degrees Fahrenheit (or -20 degrees Celsius) with snow cover. However, it thrives in the warmer seasons and requires warm spring and summer temperatures in order to survive.

With the plugs, there's no issue with tightly bound roots as with the larger containers (from a different nursery).

Keep kids and pets away from Blue Star Creeper because all parts are toxic if ingested. Additionally, people with sensitive skin may experience an allergic reaction when handling the plant.
