Tolerant of heavy foot traffic, Pratia is a great choice for pathways and between stepping stones. The seed pods of Pratia attract birds and the plants make a good lawn substitute.
For those looking to add texture and color to rocky areas, Pratia also makes a good choice for growing over walls, in rock gardens, and mixed containers. It makes an excellent living mulch; the dense soil cover it provides keeps out weeds. It’s also a good plant for erosion control.
