Description

Irish Moss is a charming, low-growing evergreen groundcover prized for its dense, cushion-like texture and vibrant green color. Often used as a lawn alternative or filler between stepping stones, it creates a soft, carpeted appearance in gardens and pathways. In spring and early summer, tiny white star-shaped flowers bloom above the foliage, adding delicate seasonal interest. Irish Moss thrives in cool to mild climates and is ideal for borders, rock gardens, and shaded landscape areas where a lush, natural look is desired.


Choose a location with partial sun to light shade and well-draining, consistently moist soil. Dig a hole slightly wider than the root ball and plant at the same depth as it was growing in its container. Backfill gently, firm the soil, and water thoroughly. Space plants to allow spreading and coverage. Mulch lightly to retain moisture during establishment.


Irish Moss prefers cool conditions with evenly moist soil and performs best in partial shade. Water regularly, especially during dry periods, but avoid waterlogged soil. Trim lightly if needed to maintain a neat appearance. Fertilization is minimal; a light feeding in spring is sufficient. This plant requires little maintenance and provides year-round greenery in suitable climates.
