Irish Moss

This lush, low-growing ground cover is prized for its dense, carpet-like foliage and vibrant green color. This charming plant forms a soft, mossy mat that's perfect for filling gaps between stepping stones, edging pathways, or adding texture to rock gardens. In late spring to early summer, it's sprinkled with tiny, star-shaped white flowers that add delicate beauty without overwhelming its fine, moss-like foliage. 

Irish Moss is ideal for cooler climates and thrives in moist, well-drained soil. It's deer resistant, low maintenance, and naturally weed-suppressing once established. Whether used in borders, fairy gardens, or as a living mulch, Irish Moss creates a serene, elegant look in shaded or partially sunny areas.
