Scleranthus biflorus
“Australian Astroturf”

Scleranthus biflorus “Australian Astroturf” Scleranthus biflorus “Australian Astroturf”

Looking so very much like a moss, this delicious emerald green groundcover for dryish sun or bright shade is actually a member of the Carnation family! Super dense & cushiony to only 3” tall & up to 3’ across, this Australian native looks amazing tumbling tightly over rocks, as an edging for rock gardens or carpeting a container. Tolerates heat & sun, needs excellent drainage & thrives on no more than once or twice a week watering. Attracts gnomes! Native to Australia.
