We use White Star Creeper extensively in our gardens between the gaps of stepping stones in paths, where it serves to be a very tough "stepable" that is tolerant to moderate foot trafffic (3 to 4 times a day). We also use it as a groundcover to underplant shrubs, roses, and small trees, such as laceleaf Japanese maples, and in shade gardens around ferns and other perennials.
Masses of tiny, star-shape, white flowers nearly cover the zig-zag black stems that are covered with tiny round leaves forming a nice mat. The flowers are produced in spring and sometimes sporadically until the first frost in fall. The foliage is evergreen in warmer climates and semi-evergreen in cooler climates.
White Star Creeper will tolerate full sun if the soil remains consistently moist. Otherwise, it is more sutied to sites that provide morning sun with afternoon shade or dappled sunlight. Either way, it's best not to allow the soil to completely dry out for prolonged periods of time.
When planting in narrow spaces between stepping stones or pavers you can divide the plant into parts that will fit the gaps.

We received our plants fairly quick and in amazing shape. They actually look better after being shipped than what the local garden center had. Great job, thanks!
Thanks Mike!
