Moss Collection - 5 Sqaure Feet

Our Moss Collection

We boast a large collection of moss, a type of ancient plant that can survive many different climates, is extremely biodiverse, and makes for good ground cover in any garden setting. It grows well in plant hardiness zones 4-10. They do not bloom, but the variety of species available makes combining different types a very eye-catching garden scene. Some gardeners even prefer to grow moss in containers, often called fairy gardens, because they can mimic grassy hills on a small scale and tell a story. The height of it at maturity is not tall, making it optimal for ground cover or container gardens. They grow only a few centimeters to a foot high. Most prefer moist soil and can increase the humidity for surrounding plants that may prefer higher humidity levels.

Our Moss Collection Is Easy To Grow

There are varieties that prefer sun or shade, though most common varieties prefer at least partial shade, since mosses have evolved to be on the ground, on rocks and on the surfaces of other plants, mostly trees. They do not grow like typical rooted plants, since they propagate from spores. Some grow in mounds, creating a small hilly look, and some grow in carpets. Common types include the common haircap, which can grow up to 16 inches tall. The fern is another type that can grow quite fast and is easy to grow. Baby tooth moss prefers partial shade but will grow in everything from clay to sandy types of medium. Pincushion grows in such a way that it looks like a tiny pincushion, giving it its name.
