Sagina Subulata Irish Moss - Dense Evergreen Ground Cover
Sagina subulata, also known as Irish moss, is a low-growing, evergreen ground cover with fresh green, moss-like foliage. This plant forms a dense carpet and blooms in late spring and summer with tiny white flowers. Ideal for filling spaces between stepping stones, in rock gardens, or as a lawn substitute. Sagina subulata is low-maintenance and thrives in sun to partial shade, making it perfect for a soft, green addition to the garden.
Key Features
This 40-plant bulk pack provides excellent coverage for pathways, rock gardens, and areas between pavers. Growing 10-25cm in height, each plant arrives in a Ø9cm recyclable pot ready for immediate planting. The moss-like foliage creates a cushioned mat effect that tolerates light foot traffic, making it practical for garden paths and stepping stone installations.
Growing Conditions
Sagina subulata adapts to various light conditions from full sun to partial shade. This evergreen perennial forms a dense, carpet-like ground cover approximately 1-2 inches tall when established. The plant produces delicate star-shaped white flowers throughout late spring and summer, adding visual interest to the lush green foliage.
Ideal Applications
Perfect for filling gaps between stepping stones and pavers where its low-growing habit prevents tripping hazards. Excellent choice for rock gardens, alpine gardens, and as a lawn alternative in smaller spaces. The dense growth pattern suppresses weed growth while creating a soft, walkable surface. Works well in containers, as edging along pathways, or for mass planting in difficult-to-mow areas.
Care Instructions
This low-maintenance ground cover requires minimal care once established. Prefers evenly moist, well-drained soil but adapts to various soil conditions. The evergreen foliage remains attractive year-round in suitable climates. Space plants 6-9 inches apart for optimal coverage, allowing the spreading habit to fill gaps naturally over time.

We grow in a natural way and only intervene when necessary, which can sometimes cause the plant to show minor imperfections. These often recover in your garden.
