Sagina subulata – Aurea

Sagina subulata ‘Aurea’, commonly known as Golden or Scotch Moss, is a sensational groundcover that forms a vibrant, chartreuse-gold carpet just about an inch tall. Its evergreen, moss-like foliage glows with color, offering year-round appeal, especially when paired with stepping stones, rock gardens, or container plantings. In spring, delicate white star-shaped flowers add a lovely contrast that draws the eye. Exceptionally low-maintenance yet hardy, ‘Aurea’ tolerates light foot traffic, deer, and thrives in both full sun and partial shade provided moisture is consistent and drainage is good.
