Sagina subulata 'Aurea'
Common Name: Scotch Moss
Golden pearlwort (Sagina subulata 'Aurea'), often sold as Scotch moss, forms a low mat of fine yellow-green foliage. Tiny white flowers appear in spring; despite its moss-like appearance, it is a flowering perennial.
The plant develops outward-spreading growth. Growth is moderate.
Choose a site in full sun or partial shade. Provide acidic, well-drained soil and maintain even moisture. Afternoon shade is helpful where summers are hot.
