Product Description

Sagina, commonly known as Irish Moss, is a low-growing, evergreen groundcover with lush, moss-like foliage that forms dense, soft mats. Ideal for rockeries, between paving stones, borders, and containers, it produces tiny white star-shaped flowers in spring, adding delicate seasonal colour. Hardy and low-maintenance, Irish Moss is perfect for creating a vibrant, green carpet effect in South African gardens.
