Irish moss

Overview

Irish moss (Sagina subulata) is a bright green, low-growing perennial plant found in temperate areas of western Europe, the United States, and Canada. It has bright green foliage and forms a lovely carpet of tightly-packed, moss-like shoots. The small white flowers of Irish moss appear in summer and attract butterflies and bees. Its evergreen foliage adds texture and color to gardens year-round. Irish moss is incredibly easy to grow in moist, well-draining soil and prefers partial shade. It is a great choice for rock gardens, filling in crevices in pathways, and as an edging plant.
