Add item to quote to see pricing

Sagina subulata is a verdant tribute to the beauty of nature, elegantly known as Irish Moss. This steadfast, evergreen perennial envelopes your landscape with a lush, green carpet, barely grazing at 1-2 inches tall yet filled with vibrancy. Compact but robust, it transforms ordinary rock gardens, stepping stone paths, and patio corners into a lively green haven. From late spring to summer, its tiny white, star-shaped blossoms emerge, sprinkling delicate charm across its moss-like tapestry. This hardy gem thrives in full sun to partial shade, requiring moderate watering and well-draining soil for optimal growth. Famed for its resilience, Irish Moss gracefully handles foot traffic, making it a compelling contender for areas that crave lush, green, and undisturbed beauty.
