Australian Astroturf

Overview

Scleranthus biflorus, or Australian Astroturf, is a low-growing (2-4 inches), evergreen groundcover that offers a dense, moss-like texture with fine, bright green foliage. Hardy in zones 7-11, it spreads up to 20 inches wide, requiring full sun to light shade and well-drained soil. This plant thrives with minimal water, making it ideal for rockeries, between pavers, or as a lush, no-mow lawn alternative in minimal foot traffic areas.
