Scleranthus Plants For Sale In New Zealand

Plant Size And Growth Habit

Scleranthus forms dense mats growing just a few centimetres high, spreading widely to cover soil and suppress weeds. Its fine, soft foliage adds unique texture and a lush green carpet effect. The plant thrives in well-drained soil and tolerates dry, exposed conditions typical of alpine and rock garden environments.

Why Choose Scleranthus For Your Garden?

This groundcover is ideal for difficult sites, including slopes, rockeries, and dry patches where other plants struggle. It reduces soil erosion, helps retain moisture, and adds year-round visual interest with minimal maintenance. Scleranthus is well-suited to NZ’s temperate and alpine climates.

Care And Maintenance Tips

Scleranthus requires minimal care beyond ensuring good drainage and occasional watering during prolonged dry spells. It prefers sunny to partly shaded spots and benefits from light trimming to maintain tidy growth. Its low profile makes it perfect for layering under taller plants or between paving stones.
