Description
Pratia angulata is a charming ground cover with soft green foliage and white spring flowering, veined with purple. During autumn, its purple fruiting announces the arrival of winter. Excellent for creating volume effects or partially covering paths, it will quickly colonise your garden.
Native to New Zealand, Pratia angulata is a perfect ground cover with a creeping habit reaching 5cm (2in) in height and 50cm (20in) in spread. Its evergreen foliage is composed of small leaves measuring 5 to 10mm (1in) long, with a soft green colour and an oval shape evoking water droplets. From May to June, small star-shaped flowers with white petals veined with purple will give the plant a tomentose appearance. Once the flowering is over, small ovoid purple fruits appear, prolonging the plant's decorative interest.
This perennial is not capricious.
Vigorous and easy to grow, it can become invasive if not limited. It likes shady and partially shaded exposures, but also tolerates full sun very well. It prefers moist, ordinary, and humus-bearing soils but also withstands temporary drought.
In the garden, it can be used as a woodland ground cover where it can also be used to dress stone stairs, pavements, or rockeries. You can plant it with comfrey or mosses, for example. We recommend planting it in voluptuous blankets with shade-loving perennials to compose a contemporary, minimalist scenography in a Japanese spirit: use horsetails as a backdrop, animated by ferns. Alternatively, plant it with sun-loving perennials to dress an English garden path: use wild roses and climbing roses perched on chestnut supports, and clumps of grasses punctuated with scabiosa, sage, echinacea, and erigeron.

Planting and care
Although they like moist soil, we cultivate them in a rockery. We have mixed our clayey soil with gravel to a depth of 10cm (4in) in order to offer them a draining "mattress" to limit winter humidity. Normally evergreen, the foliage disappears in harsh winters. In cold regions, it might be more prudent to shelter these young plants in winter. It will grow in any moist but well-drained soil. It does not tolerate competition from other plants.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
