Sagina subulata Aurea Golden Irish Moss

Minimum order quantity for this plant in 14cm pots is 3 units

Sagina subulata Aurea, commonly known as Golden Irish Moss, is a low-growing, mat-forming perennial prized for its vibrant golden-yellow foliage. This soft, moss-like ground cover creates a lush carpet that brightens garden beds, rockeries, pathways, and between pavers. In late spring to summer, it produces tiny white flowers, adding delicate charm to its dense foliage. It grows to about 2–5 cm in height and spreads up to 30 cm wide.

To grow Golden Irish Moss, plant it in full sun to partial shade with well-drained, moist soil. It thrives in cooler climates like Melbourne and Sydney but requires protection from extreme heat in Brisbane and Adelaide. Regular watering helps maintain its lush appearance, especially in dry periods. Avoid waterlogging, as it prefers slightly moist but well-drained conditions. Low-maintenance and visually striking, it’s perfect for softening garden edges and filling small spaces.
