Low Maintenance

Scleranthus biflorus is a low-growing, moss-like native groundcover valued for its lush, cushiony texture and vivid bright green foliage. The tiny leaves are densely packed, forming a soft, spreading mat that brings a refined, natural look to rockeries, gravel gardens and between pavers. In late spring it produces tiny green flowers that subtly blend into the foliage.

Thriving in a sunny position with moist but well-drained soil, this hardy evergreen performs best when mulched with fine gravel or shingle, which helps retain moisture and complements its alpine appearance. Ideal for modern landscapes, native gardens or as a ground-hugging feature in containers and troughs.

Slow-growing but rewarding, Scleranthus biflorus is a low-maintenance choice for adding texture and a soft, natural element to any garden.
