Beautiful, Hardy Mosses That Thrive Effortlessly in Zone 6 Gardens
Zone 6 is a great place for growing moss because it has four seasons and a long growing period. Moss is an easy and versatile groundcover that spreads slowly, stays green all year, and does well in shady, damp areas. Since 1959, TN Nursery has specialized in mosses that can take both cold and warm weather, making them a good fit for Zone 6. Our moss has been used at places like Arlington National Cemetery and the Washington Monument, and has been featured on The Discovery Channel and The History Channel, which highlights our long experience in horticulture.
TN Nursery's Expertise in Supplying Zone 6 Moss
With over sixty years of experience, TN Nursery grows moss outdoors in natural conditions instead of greenhouses. This helps our moss develop strong roots that can handle Zone 6's cool winters and warm summers. We harvest each order fresh and ship it straight from our fields, so it's ready to grow with little effort. By selling directly from our farm, we make sure customers get moss that is hardy, genuine, and well-suited for Zone 6 gardens.
Moss Varieties That Excel in Zone 6
Zone 6's changing seasons are ideal for many kinds of moss. TN Nursery has mosses that stay bright, spread easily, and grow in shady places where other plants may not. These mosses are great for woodland paths, meditation spots, shade gardens, water features, rock gardens, and under trees where grass does not grow. Their deep green color and soft feel can make any yard peaceful and natural.
Why Moss Is an Exceptional Choice for Zone 6 Environments
Moss needs almost no care. You do not have to mow, fertilize, or water it heavily, so it is a good choice for people who want a beautiful yard with little work. Its thick growth helps keep moisture in the soil, stops erosion, and covers bare spots that do not get much sun. Moss is also good for the environment because it improves soil, supports small wildlife, and keeps moisture in the ground. In Zone 6, with warm summers and cool winters, moss stays attractive and strong all year.
