Overview
Sagina subulata (Green Irish Moss) adds a carpet of lush green to the waterwise landscape with ground-hugging deep green foliage. Easy-to-grow and evergreen, this is a great choice for rock gardens, and it’s especially beautiful growing between rocks and flagstones on a path or wall. It can tolerate occasional foot traffic, so it is a good lawn replacement in cooler climates. Delicate star-shaped white flowers appear in spring, hovering over the green.

Description

Sagina subulata (Green Irish Moss) is a lush deep green groundcover with dense evergreen tidy foliage. Lovely white flowers give way to tiny brown oblong seedpods. A full sun to part shade location and evenly moist, well-drained soils will keep this species happy. It is easy to spread by division in early spring or fall. Native to western and central Europe, Irish Moss is found growing among rocks and slopes.
