Sagina subulata (Pot Size 10cm) Irish Moss sold by Boma Garden Centre

Irish Moss is a hardy evergreen ground cover forming dense mats of fine, lime-green foliage just 1-2 inches tall. Tiny delicate white star-shaped flowers appear in late spring and often repeat in late summer. Originally from western and central Europe, this tough little perennial is ideal for rock gardens, between flagstones, as a lawn substitute in cooler zones, and in pots or containers. It tolerates occasional light foot traffic and spreads to fill gaps naturally.Position in full sun or partial afternoon shade and keep the soil moist and well-drained. Once established, it requires minimal maintenance-water regularly to prevent drought stress but avoid waterlogging, which causes root rot. Feed occasionally during the growing season and trim lightly to encourage denser growth. Hardy in USDA zones 4-9, it thrives in cooler climates and prefers sandy, fertile soil. Ideal as a living mulch, lawn alternative, or delicate ground cover in alpine and rock gardens.
