Add item to quote to see pricing

Arenaria verna is an enchanting selection celebrated for its lush, evergreen presence. Often referred to as Irish Moss, its captivating emerald-green carpet of moss-like foliage brings exceptional texture and color to any landscape. Growing up to a refined height of only 1 inch yet able to spread as wide as a foot, it's the exemplary choice for a low-lying, dense ground coverage. Come spring, this perennial is adorned with a spectacle of tiny, star-shaped, white blooms, accentuating its verdant charm. Thriving in a range of conditions from full sun to partial shade, along with a high tolerance to foot traffic, makes it highly versatile – perfect for embellishing walkways or rock gardens, or filling gaps between stepping stones. Note its desire for well-drained, moderately fertile soil to ensure optimal growth. In all, Arenaria verna offers unparalleled aesthetic value with ease of maintenance, an ideal option for elevating any garden design.
