Irish Moss Pearlwort Seeds – Sagina subulata

Transform your garden into a lush, green carpet with Irish Moss (Sagina subulata) — a low-growing, evergreen perennial that adds elegance and texture wherever it grows.

Perfect for rock gardens, borders, and between stepping stones, Irish Moss forms soft, cushiony mats that withstand light foot traffic and stay green year-round in most climates. Its fine, needle-like leaves and delicate blooms bring a touch of charm and sophistication to any outdoor space.

Whether you’re filling gaps in a pathway or creating a living green carpet, Irish Moss delivers beauty and practicality — with low maintenance and high reward.
