Cushion Bun (Scleranthus uniflorus)

This curious little groundcover looks like a pool of living moss or a soft green cloud settled over the soil. Cushion Bun forms dense, undulating mounds of tiny bright green leaves that beg to be touched. Perfect for rockeries, between pavers and modern textural plantings.

🌱 Why Gardeners Love Cushion Bun

✔ Living cushion texture - dense, moss-like mounds of fine foliage.

✔ Bright green all year - fresh evergreen colour in every season.

✔ Low and spreading - hugs the ground and flows over edges.

✔ Hardy and low care - tough once established with little fuss.

✔ Mass-planting star - knits into a seamless green carpet.

🏡 How to Use Cushion Bun in Your Garden

✅ Rockeries - drapes beautifully over and between stones.

✅ Between pavers - fills gaps with soft green texture.

✅ Mass planting - group for a flowing groundcover effect.

✅ Feature pots - spills over the rim of bowls and troughs.

Easy Planting & Care Guide

  • Position: Full sun to part shade in gritty, free-draining soil.
  • Spacing: Plant 20-30cm apart for a continuous carpet; ideal for mass planting in packs.
  • Best Planting Time: Autumn or spring while conditions are mild.
  • Watering & Care: Water to establish, then water occasionally. Ensure good drainage and avoid smothering with mulch or leaf litter.

❔ FAQs About Cushion Bun

Is it a type of moss?
No. It only looks like moss - it is a hardy cushion-forming plant with tiny leaves that create a dense, mounded, moss-like surface.

Can I walk on it?
It tolerates very light, occasional foot traffic between pavers but is not a lawn substitute. It is best enjoyed as a textural feature.

Is it good for mass planting?
Yes. Planted 20-30cm apart it merges into a smooth green carpet, which is why it is offered in convenient packs.
