Irish Moss (Sagina Subulata) - Very small Irish Moss seeds create a moss-like, emerald-green foliage that forms a compact 1 - 2 inch tall carpet. Irish moss ground cover is excellent for planting between flagstones. Grown as a lawn substitute, it creates the effect of a moss-covered meadow. Irish Moss is very soft to walk on barefoot, and it has a slightly spongy feel to it. Sow Irish Moss seeds in starter flats, press the tiny seeds into soil but do not cover. Kept at 64 - 72F, germination is in 14 - 21 days. Transplant into the garden 6 - 9 inches apart. Irish Moss seeds can be direct sown into the garden or in-between stones. The ground cover seed must be kept moist continuously. It will be adaptable to mostly sunny locations in cooler climates or partial shade in warmer climates. Irish Moss ground cover needs moisture retentive, gritty, well-drained soil. The plants are hardy above -30F degrees.
