Sphagnum Moss

Various shades of browns, greens to yellows the super sponge of the mosses! A great cover for the wet zones in your landscape.  Likes shaded nutrient-poor, acidic, and wet swampy bog areas. No worry about this one drying out; it's just doing the sponge thing.  This one will add to the acidity of your soil and has been used as sterile bandages in the past.

Recycle your rain ~ Most useful at the bottom of your gutter downspout this will help absorb and disperse water to your nearby garden. 

 

Haircap Moss

Polytrichum Commune

$5.00 sq. ft.

 

The needle-like appearance of this moss doesn't reflect the softness of it when you run your hand across it!  Often remindes me of little pine trees even though they only grow about 1/2 inch to 3 inches tall.  Moss obtains all their nutrients from the air since moss has no true roots, moss plants require nothing more than a firm soil bed in a location with adequate shade, acidic soil and moisture to flourish.  Would love to have a home near your garden water feature.  Most spectacular in Rock Gardens!

Cladonia Rangiferina

$TBA sq. ft.
