Description

If you’ve ever wanted to walk barefoot through your garden, Irish Moss is calling. This ultra-low, evergreen groundcover grows just 1–2 inches tall, forming dense, vivid green mats that look and feel like a mossy dream.

It’s ideal for tucking into flagstone paths, trailing between garden borders, or weaving through alpine beds. Spreading slowly but steadily, it reseeds readily and maintains its velvety form through all seasons.

A soft-textured star for rock gardens, shady alcoves, or miniature landscapes, Irish Moss brings a calming, enchanted touch to any terrain.
