Description
Isotoma fluviatilis ‘Alba White Star’ is a charming groundcover perennial known for its dense, spreading habit and striking pure white star-shaped flowers that bloom primarily in late spring to early summer. Native to Australia, this low-growing plant thrives in well-drained soils and prefers partial shade to full sun, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, pathways, and as a living mulch to suppress weeds. Its bright green, rounded leaves provide a lush carpet-like effect, while the delicate white blossoms add seasonal interest and attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. ‘Alba White Star’ is valued for its tolerance to foot traffic and drought once established, making it a versatile and resilient selection for sustainable landscaping. This cultivar stands out for its crisp floral display compared to the typical blue or violet hues found in other Isotoma varieties, enhancing garden designs with a clean and fresh aesthetic.
