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 and cushiony to only 3” tall and 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 and sun, needs excellent drainage and thrives on no more than once or twice a week watering. Attracts gnomes! Native to Australia.
