SCLERANTHUS LIME LAVA 140MM

Scleranthus 'Lime Lava' 140mm Pot

Unique Australian native groundcover forming a vibrant lime green mound that gently creeps over rocks and garden edges like flowing lava.

Scleranthus Lime Lava is a beautiful alpine native selected for its bright green moss-like foliage and naturally spreading habit. Forming a soft, dense carpet, it hugs rocks and contours to create a striking visual effect while contrasting beautifully with broad-leaved plants and flowering shrubs. Its fine texture and vibrant colour make it an excellent choice for borders, rockeries, containers and contemporary landscapes.

Hardy and adaptable, Lime Lava thrives across a wide range of climates, from coastal gardens to alpine regions, and is highly frost tolerant. It is equally at home in garden beds, raised planters and decorative pots.

Plant Care

Plant in a full sun to part shade position in well drained soil. Where drainage is poor, plant in raised garden beds to improve performance. Water regularly during establishment, then maintain moderate moisture during extended dry periods. Lime Lava responds best to free-draining soils and requires little maintenance once established. Feed lightly with a low phosphorus native plant fertiliser during spring if required.

A stunning Australian native groundcover that creates the appearance of flowing green lava, providing year-round colour, beautiful texture and outstanding performance in a wide range of garden settings.
