Sagina subulata Irish Moss

SAGINA SUBULATA IRISH MOSS

Sagina subulata

Irish Moss
One of our most popular STEPABLE Creeping Perennials!Sagina subulata has dense tufts of slender stems which grow together to form a lush carpet of green moss. Small, star-shaped, white flowers cover completely in spring. Irish Moss is ideal as a creeping perennial groundcover, terrific between rocks and stones. This plant is an excellent choice for woodland areas, along streams, on small slopes or between pavers in a fairy garden or as a lawn substitute. 

This plant is happiest when it receives cool sunlight, NOT hot afternoon sun.

Garden Tips From Fran

Sagina subulata is one of the best! That’s why it is one of our Tough Ten.

Excellent woodland area plant.

Fantastic between your stones. Sensational as a lawn substitute.

It works just about anywhere you put it. Its easy to grow and spreads quickly.

Irish Moss needs more shade in the Southern half of the US and

more sun in the Northern half of the US.

This plant is happiest when it receives cool sunlight, NOT hot afternoon sun. 

* This little gem re-seeds easily to give you lots of freebies between your stepping stones.
