Cushion Bush (Scleranthus biflorus)

Like a plump green cushion dropped onto the garden floor, Scleranthus biflorus is one of the most touchable plants in Australian horticulture. This native ground-hugger forms dense, mounded mats of brilliant emerald green, so smooth and even they look clipped - yet no clipping is ever required.

🌱 Why Gardeners Love Cushion Bush

✔ Living Sculpture - smooth, moss-like mounds of intense lime-emerald green.

✔ Naturally Perfect Shape - dense cushions form without any trimming.

✔ Australian Native - found naturally from coastal headlands to alpine areas.

✔ Frost Hardy - completely unfazed by cold winters and mountain climates.

✔ Low Profile - hugs the ground at 5-10cm tall, slowly spreading to 50cm or more.

🏡 How to Use Cushion Bush in Your Garden

✅ Japanese & Contemporary Gardens - a native stand-in for moss around rocks and gravel.

✅ Between Pavers - soft green pillows along stepping-stone paths.

✅ Rockeries - flows over and between boulders like green velvet.

✅ Pots & Troughs - a striking single-species bowl for patios.

Easy Planting & Care Guide

  • Position: Full sun to part shade with excellent drainage; suits cool, temperate and coastal climates.
  • Spacing: Plant 30-40cm apart to create a continuous cushioned carpet over time.
  • Best Planting Time: Spring or autumn.
  • Watering & Care: Water regularly in dry weather - it likes reliable moisture but never waterlogging. No pruning or feeding needed beyond a light annual native fertiliser.

❔ FAQs About Cushion Bush

Is it hard to keep alive?
The two rules are drainage and consistent moisture - free-draining soil that never becomes bone dry or boggy. Get that balance right and it is remarkably trouble-free.

Can I walk on it?
It handles very occasional light footsteps between pavers, but it is not a lawn substitute. Treat it as an ornamental cushion rather than a path.

Should I buy several?
Yes if you want a carpet effect - our packs of 6 and 10 planted 30-40cm apart merge into one undulating green mat over a few seasons.
