Sagina subulata 'Irish Moss'
Description
Irish Moss, or Sagina subulata, is a lush, evergreen ground cover that forms a dense mat of bright green foliage. It is known for its soft, moss-like appearance and tiny white flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer. This plant is perfect for filling in gaps between stepping stones or as a lawn substitute in low-traffic areas.
Suggested Uses
Irish Moss is ideal for rock gardens, between pavers, as a ground cover, or in containers. It can also be used to create a soft, green carpet in shaded areas of the garden.
