Garden Moss 

Garden moss is a simple plant that can quickly grow anywhere and anytime.

These are tiny plants having no flowers or fruits. Most mosses are shade-loving and do not need direct sunlight to grow well. They are often found near water bodies, woods, dead or alive trees, and hillsides.

The tiny leaves are attached to stems and branches and are mostly rounded around the stems. The color of the stem and leaves may vary from one type to another and are always of green to brown colors. Here are some most common characteristics among all shade garden mosses,

Garden Moss is great for areas where nothing else will grow

These plants are classified into two groups, i.e., acrocarpous and pleurocarpous. Acrocarpous mosses have erect and vertical growth, whereas pleurocarpous grow horizontally. Several types of these plants have minor differences in their characteristics and growth nature. Some of the most common moss plants are as below.

Cap Moss

It is one of the types of acrocarpus, and its most common species is Polytrichum commune (Hair cap moss). The stem of the moss grows vertically straight, gaining a height of around 2 feet. Many tiny, bright green leaves arise from the brown stem.

Rock Cap Moss

It is botanically named Dicranum scoparium, and they love to grow on rocks in dense forests and shady areas. The moss requires no such specific land to grow well and can be grown on dry and infertile soils.

Cushion Moss

It is an acrocarpous moss known as pincushion moss (Leucobryum glaucum) and white moss. It prefers acidic and moist soils and can absorb water and survive dry circumstances effortlessly.

They can grow up to 1-5 inches in height and look like grass moss garden cushions. It is a shade garden moss with clumps of green-grey leaves that need full shade or partial light to grow. It grows by spores naturally in the presence of wind.

They are the most drought tolerant among all the mosses.

Fern Moss

Like other mosses, fern mosses are also wet and acidic soil lovers. They are very low-maintenance plants and only need moist soil and shady areas to grow healthy. It is also commonly called sheet moss, delicate fern moss (Thuidium delicatulum), and many more.

The sheet moss can grow up to 2 feet, and it has a shallow root system. With the help of rhizoids, the plant attaches to any surface, causing proper plant growth. The triangular leaves of the moss have a range of colors from bright green, yellowish-green, dark green, and brownish-orange.

These were the most common shade garden mosses. Some of the types are edible for humans, and you can also use them to make moss, milkshakes, or any other eatables. Many others are also used as herbivores on animal diets.
