Easy Moss to Grow

Mosses are charming plants that can add gentle allure and color to your garden while also contributing to the ecological health of the natural world. If you have a moist, shady garden and the right growing conditions, you can use moss as an alternative to grass.

 

Easy-to-grow mosses are low-maintenance, self-sufficient, and environmentally friendly once they take hold, and their vibrant green colors and soft textures look beautiful and full of life. In natural habitats, mosses commonly grow on forest floors, logs, trees, and stones. They are frequently home to a variety of insects, spiders, and other small animals, which can contribute to the biodiversity and health of the environment

Fern Moss

Fern moss has delicate, feathery fronds that look like miniature forest ferns. Their intricate stems can vary in color from light, bright green to brilliant viridian. A dense cover of this moss will have a velvety texture that can create a carpet-like ground cover. Fern moss is low-maintenance and needs only occasional watering to thrive.

Hair Cap Moss

Hair cap moss is a dark green moss made of tufted stems that can grow in loose or dense colonies. Its narrow red- or brown-tipped leaves, which radiate from upright stems, help characterize its natural-looking yet lush and carpet-like effect, which makes it an attractive ground cover. Hair cap moss is resilient, pest- and disease-resistant, and very easy to care for.

Lawn Moss

Lawn moss is an evergreen ground cover plant that can serve as a practical alternative to grass. Its small, leafy structures grow in densely packed colonies that can vary in color from bright emerald to more subtle olivine hues. The short foliage creates a turf-like outdoor surface that can thrive in difficult conditions once it’s established. Lawn moss is an adaptable plant that requires minimal attention to keep it looking healthy, and planting it can be a quick route to achieving a verdant garden.
