More Information

Description The moss-like foliage of Yellow Irish Moss (Sagina subulata) forms a cushioned mat that spreads through the garden! It instantly brightens the landscape with vibrant, chartreuse hues. Hundreds of petite, white flowers bloom above the foliage, giving an extra pop of color in spring. Did we mention how tough it is? This durable ground cover handles foot traffic with ease, making it an excellent option for edging pathways and filling between stepping stones. Plus, it's low maintenance, deer resistant, and incredibly easy to grow!  Perfect for beginners looking to fill tough-to-grow sites. Details Botanical name: Sagina subulata 'Aurea'

Season of interest: Spring through fall
Bloom time: Spring
Features: Low flammability, ground covers, deer resistant

Do not plant Irish Moss when it’s hot!!

I love the feel, color and low height of the Irish moss and will order it again in the fall once the heat is better. I will also be sure it gets very little or dappled sunlight. The plants came in very good condition and acclimated well and quickly. However, I had misjudged the amount of sun it would get - because the sun comes from a different part of the sky in the summer - and I was away for 5 days during a heat wave and it got burned. It may come back still - but I have discovered some other places where it will thrive I think and will try there in the fall.

Died after a week

Multiple of my plants have died in just the first week or so. Followed all the directions and still they died. Very frustrating and very expensive lesson!

Very Impressed!

I first found out about Irish moss this summer. Picked some up at my local garden center and have been obsessed with it ever since.
I recently got a Modern Sprout "grow frame" and after putting in my plants thought that it needed a yellowish/green to make everything pop. I knew that scotch moss would be perfect for it.
So my search on the ol' internet began. Wow, couldn't find it anywhere
Etsy had a few shops that were selling literally scraps for $20 and there was no way I was going to pay that. I waited a week, and then did another Google search. Up came this website. Reviews seemed legit, and the amount I would get was great for the price too.
Okay, so when I say that I am IMPRESSED, with the packaging of my plants. I seriously was blown away. I've ordered plants before and have never seen such a well packaged plant. I actually took pictures so I could leave a review. My Irish moss came perfect and I will absolutely be ordering from you again. So thankful you had what I wanted!!
