Scotch Moss – Bright Golden Cushion-Like Mossy Groundcover (Sagina subulata 'Aurea')
Product Details
Description
Sagina Subulata 'Aurea' Scotch Moss
'Aurea' is a glowing, golden groundcover that forms a soft, moss-like carpet perfect for brightening pathways, rock gardens, and between stepping stones.
