10-count flat 4.5" pots of Sagina Subulata Irish Moss, grown in zones 4-9. Low-growing moss-like carpet of bright shamrock green foliage with tiny white flowers in spring/summer.
Sagina subulata, also known as Irish moss, is a low-growing, evergreen perennial plant that forms a dense mat of tiny, needle-like leaves. It is native to Europe and Asia, but it is now widely grown as an ornamental plant in gardens around the world.
Irish moss is a hardy plant that can be grown in USDA zones 3-9. It prefers full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. It is a low-maintenance plant that is drought-tolerant and deer-resistant.
Irish moss is a popular choice for rock gardens, borders, and containers. It can also be used as a groundcover to fill in bare spots in the garden.
Here are some tips for caring for Irish moss:
- Water the plant regularly, especially during hot, dry weather.
- Fertilize the plant once a year in the spring with a balanced fertilizer.
- Deadhead the flowers to encourage more blooms.
- Divide the plant every 3-4 years to keep it healthy and vigorous.
Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.
We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.
