**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.
Please note: Plants are living products and may therefore differ from the photo and description. Minor natural imperfections can occur. These often recover in your garden. These plants are vigorous and long-lasting. They are supplied in growing pots and are shipped directly from our partner growers.
