One-flowered knawel

Scleranthus uniflorus forms dense, moss-like cushions of fine fresh green shoots, creating a soft, carpet-like effect. Its compact habit makes it ideal for rock gardens, wall tops, alpine plantings, and decorative containers. The evergreen foliage provides year-round structure and combines beautifully with compact perennials and alpine plants.

Watering and Care

Scleranthus uniflorus prefers well-drained soil and tolerates drought quite well. Additional watering is only needed during prolonged heat.

Maintenance

This low-growing plant requires very little maintenance and naturally retains its compact shape.

Location

It thrives in full sun with excellent drainage.

Tip

Ideal as a textural groundcover among stones and in alpine-style plantings.

Scleranthus uniflorus adds summer delicacy to flower beds, rock gardens, and borders with small, delicate blooms and fine foliage. Especially decorative as ground cover or in rock gardens.

The blooms attract insects, providing subtle liveliness to the garden.
