Aurea Irish Moss

What: Scotch Moss (Sagina subulata ‘Aurea’), also known as Aurea Irish Moss, is an herbaceous evergreen perennial with a ground-hugging habit of growth. It features gold spring foliage that turns lime green, creating a lush carpet-like effect adorned with tiny white star-shaped flowers from mid spring to mid summer.

Best use: Perfect for rock gardens, border edging, and as a groundcover between stepping stones or pavers. Its extremely fine, moss-like texture adds visual elegance to garden compositions while maintaining year-round interest with its evergreen nature.
