Description
Create a lush, carpet-like display with Irish Moss (Sagina subulata), a beautiful low-growing evergreen perennial prized for its dense cushions of vibrant green foliage. Despite its common name, it is not a true moss, but its soft, moss-like appearance makes it an excellent choice for adding texture and colour to the garden.
During late spring and summer, Irish Moss is covered with charming white, star-shaped flowers that sit just above the foliage, adding delicate seasonal interest without spoiling its neat, compact appearance. Its low-growing habit makes it ideal for filling gaps between paving stones, edging pathways, softening rockeries, or creating attractive ground cover in borders and alpine gardens.
Supplied as healthy young plug plants, Irish Moss establishes quickly and gradually spreads to form a dense evergreen carpet. It thrives in well-drained soil and is easy to maintain, making it a fantastic choice for gardeners of all experience levels. Whether you’re designing a contemporary landscape, a traditional cottage garden, or a miniature fairy garden, Irish Moss provides year-round interest with very little maintenance.
How to Care for Irish Moss
• Plant in full sun or partial shade in well-drained soil.
• Water regularly while establishing, keeping the soil evenly moist.
• Once established, water during prolonged dry spells.
• Remove any weeds while the plants are spreading to encourage a dense carpet.
• Trim lightly after flowering if required to maintain a neat appearance.
