Blue Star Creeper – Zone 6a- Can I Plant In Early September? Pot And Ground.

Question

I am interested in buying an 18 Pack of Blue Star Creeper. I am in Zone 6a in Kansas. Can I plant now… early September? I will plant in pots and in the ground. Does the price include shipping? How are the plants shipped?

Answer 1

We don't sell plants so I can't answer your questions about shipping. Your plants will do better planted when it cools off a little more, at the end of September.

They are hardy to zone 5, so the groundcover Blue Star Creeper should do well, but those in pots will need some protection in winter to survive a zone 6 winter. You can cover them during the coldest spells, or move them inside the garage.

If you mean Blue Star juniper, it will do fine in pots without extra protection.
