Sagina subulata are able to withstand light foot traffic. Lush, fresh appearance with dainty white flowers in spring. Prefers evenly moist, compost-rich soil. Likes a lot of moisture, but not wet feet. May need to be protected from hot afternoon sun in the south. Can be a replacement lawn for cool summer areas. Note that when grown in a container, it may not perform exactly as indicated on the tag - this is to be expected. Also note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden. Be aware that in our climate, most plants cannot be expected to survive the winter if left in containers outdoors, and this plant is no exception. NOTE: Some flowers and plants may be harmful or poisonous to people or pets if touched or ingested. If you require more information before placing an order, please let us know in advance. |
