Hello, I am considering planting 'pratia pedunculata' in several places around a garden path so it will eventually form a continuous mat. If I were to buy pratia from you in a 1 litre pot, would that be one single plant, or would it contain multiple small plants that I could separate? Many thanks!
At the moment this will be available as a 9cm pot, which should be full of many shoots. They will separate, although splitting apart into a couple of pieces might be easier.
