Scotch Moss
Sagina subulata 'Aurea'
Add a soft, playful, and unexpected element to the garden with these lush, chartreuse to yellow, moss-like plants, with evergreen foliage that forms a gently fluffy mat. Extra tiny translucent white flowers bring fairy-like beauty in spring. Tolerates moderate food traffic, these plants work well along walkways and between stepping stones. They are also a great option for covering mild slopes, filling containers, and dripping down rock walls - and even as a lawn alternative. These perennial plants are native to western and central Europe, and prefer moist, well-draining soils.
Ideal for: Asian Gardens, Childrens Gardens, Cottage Gardens, Fairy Gardens, Rock Gardens, and more!
Full sun to partial shade.
2"T x 12"W.
Zones 4a-8b, cold hardy down to -30F.
💚Plant Nerd: These charming plants with a great presence aren't actually moss at all, but relatives of Carnations! The British Natural History Museum lists S. subulata as native to Scotland, where it is known in English as Heath Pearlwort, and in Gaelic as Mungan M'intich.
