Moss
Moss is an evergreen, low-maintenance ground cover that thrives in shade, prevents erosion and creates a beautiful zen garden
Moss acts as a powerful bioindicator, acting as a health agent of the environment by absorbing pollutants and signaling air and water quality issues. In stagnant swamps, moss naturally filters impurities, helping to oxygenate water

Topiary Moss is often integral to artistic, whimsical, charming, and highly unique topiaries. You may see topiaries at museums, public gardens, theme parks, and other places where people gather to marvel at them. Some private homes even feature topiaries as a central aspect of their elegant landscaping.
At TN Nursery, we're proud to be a premium quality topiary moss supplier. Many renowned craftspeople rely on us for it to bring their visions to life.
The History Of Topiary Moss
Topiaries date back to ancient Rome, with the very first being described in written letters around 44 B.C. Those early topiaries were described as closely clipped greenery sculptures of animals, obelisks, and even intricate landscapes.
The art of it spread across the world over time, and today, it's widely recognized as a true art form.
Topiaries were initially made of cypress trees; other trees and shrubs like box, yew, or holly are also used. However, many artisans today prefer to work with it.
This art form creates an intricate metal cage as the sculpture's base. The sculpture is then inserted into the cage, and it takes on the desired form.
It is a top choice because it's easily moldable and requires minimal upkeep. It doesn't need much water, and when it rains (or when you water it occasionally), it can absorb up to 25 times its weight in water. It stores that water, which helps keep its vibrant color and soft, spongy texture intact.
An additional benefit of using it is its environmental advantages. It works like an organic air filter: It can help remove environmental pollutants, giving us cleaner air.
Topiary Moss Is The Best Type
The best sculptures depend on several factors, including the climate where they will be placed and the desired appearance of the plant.
Our customers often choose two popular types: reindeer type, which features stunning silvery-white tips, and mood type, which forms a carpet-like texture and retains its rich jade hue with minimal upkeep.
Depending on your goals, our team can help you select the material and determine the amount you'll need.

Easy to Install
Live Moss Installation
Planting live moss is simple if you start with the right spot. First, clear away any leaves, weeds, or loose debris so the moss can press flat against the surface, whether that’s soil, stone, or wood. Lightly dampen the area, then press the moss down firmly with your hands. It’s important that the bottom of the moss makes full contact.
After Planting Live Moss
After planting, mist it gently with water and keep it moist every day for the first couple of weeks. Moss doesn’t need fertilizer, it actually prefers poor soil and shade. With a bit of patience and steady moisture, it’ll take hold and begin to spread on its own.
Grow Tips
Moss Thrives in Moisture
When growing moss, the biggest key is moisture. Experts says it does best in places that stay damp and shaded most of the day. Before laying it down, press it firmly into the soil or surface so it sticks well—loose contact won’t cut it.
Moss Doesn't Require Fertilizer
I don’t use fertilizer at all; moss doesn’t like it. A light misting every day, especially at first, keeps it happy. Once it settles in, it really doesn’t need much. I’ve had the best luck just keeping it simple and letting it do its thing.
