This plant is characterized by its evergreen, mat-forming growth habit, mainly lying close to the ground. It features small, star-shaped flowers that are a delicate shade of white-blue with five petals each. The blooms typically appear during the early spring to summer. Its foliage remains lush and vibrant throughout the seasons, providing a dense, ground-hugging cover. Flowering stems are subtle, and the plant spreads by rooting at the nodes of slender runners. Measuring the expanse of its spread ranges from several inches to over 2 feet (2.54 cm to 60 cm).
