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.

Shipping

As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat.  The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.

Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds.
