Sagina Subulata, or Irish Moss, is a ground cover with deep green moss-like leaves and tiny white daisy-like flowers in spring. It grows like moss and is excellent between and around pavers where traffic is light, rockeries, roof gardens and around ponds. It can also be used as a lawn substitute in light-traffic areas. Fertilise with a slow-release fertiliser in spring. For a lawn effect mow lightly monthly in summer and once in winter, otherwise leave to grow.
