Blue Star Creeper Feeding Instructions

Feed lightly in Spring and then on an as needed basis through late Summer. We generally recommend a slow-release granular flower food, higher in the middle number: this is phospherous, which helps to promote strong root systems, strong stems and plenty of flowers. Alternatively, you may use a natural or organic, non-burning plant food. Refer to product label for application rates and instruction.

Blue Star Creeper Pruning Instructions

This is a low-maintenance plant that requires little or no pruning! An occasional snip here or there of a stray or broken branch, or shearing faded flowers to encourage more blooming is okay.

Blue Star Creeper Pest Instructions

This plant typically encounters very few pest or disease problems. If a pest or disease problem is identified, treat with an insecticide product, preferably one containing "Neem oil". Neem oil is a safe, triple-action product that can be used to control insects, mites and diseases. If your plant appears seriously stressed or diseased, consult with your local nurseryman, arborist, professional landscaper or local extension agent.
