Lime Lava Cushion Bush (Scleranthus biflorus 'Lime Lava')

Imagine vivid lime-green cushions flowing between rocks and pavers like moss, without the fuss of moss. Lime Lava is a striking Australian native ground cover that forms dense, springy mounds of emerald foliage, adding sculptural texture to modern and Japanese-style gardens.

🌱 Why Gardeners Love Lime Lava

✔ Vibrant Lime Cushions - dense, moss-like mounds in brilliant green all year.

✔ Sculptural Texture - hugs rocks, edges and contours for a designer look.

✔ Australian Native - a naturally occurring cushion plant suited to local conditions.

✔ Neat and Compact - stays low and tidy with no pruning required.

✔ Evergreen Colour - keeps its fresh green tone through every season.

🏡 How to Use Lime Lava in Your Garden

✅ Rockeries - spills over and between stones like flowing green lava.

✅ Between Pavers - softens stepping stones and path edges beautifully.

✅ Japanese-Style Gardens - the perfect mounding accent beside gravel and water features.

✅ Pots and Bowls - makes a living green sculpture in shallow containers.

Easy Planting & Care Guide

  • Position: Full sun to part shade with good drainage; appreciates some afternoon shade in hot inland areas.
  • Spacing: Plant 30-40cm apart for cushions that merge into a continuous carpet.
  • Best Planting Time: Autumn or spring, avoiding the heat of midsummer.
  • Watering & Care: Keep lightly moist, especially in dry spells; it dislikes drying out completely but also resents soggy soil. No pruning needed.

❔ FAQs About Lime Lava

Is Lime Lava hard to grow?
Not if you get the basics right. Give it good drainage, some moisture through summer and airflow around the cushions, and it will stay dense and green.

Can you walk on it?
It tolerates very occasional light foot traffic but is best placed beside paths rather than on them, so the cushions keep their perfect shape.

How many do I need?
For a flowing carpet effect, mass plant from the pack of 10 at 30-40cm spacings and the mounds will knit together over a couple of seasons.
