Description
Sagina subulata covers the ground with a low, dense mat that stays green throughout the year. Tiny white, star-shaped flowers appear in summer and have a light fragrance.
Paving gaps with light foot traffic suit this ground cover, as do small lawns with limited use. The low growth can also form a garden edge or fill an outdoor trough. Choose a position in full sun or partial shade with even moisture and excellent drainage. Avoid places prone to drought, waterlogging, or intense heat.
