Sheet Moss (Goose Neck Moss) - Perfect Ground Cover

With intriguing curved micro leaf clusters, Sheet Moss forms an attractive and dense mat of green over the landscape. Its name is a direct reflection of its ability to form a blanket structure over the soil/substrate that is void of gaps and leaves nothing to desire.

It is an effective non-aggressive ground cover with a true set-and-forget nature. It isn't just seen outdoors, however. This plant is also frequently used in floral arrangements due to its unique wild texture and vivid green hue.

Notoriously low-maintenance and self-sufficient, this plant is ideal if you are looking to fill a space in more difficult areas of your terrain, such as shaded or moist areas.

How To Grow & Care Tips

How to Grow and Care for Moss

Moss is a timeless, low-maintenance plant that brings a soft, green carpet to shaded gardens, woodland paths, stone walls, and water features. Unlike traditional plants, moss doesn't have roots—it absorbs water and nutrients directly through its leaves—making it ideal for moist, acidic soils and areas with poor fertility. To grow moss successfully, choose a shaded or partially shaded location with consistent humidity and minimal foot traffic.

Prepare the site by clearing debris and lightly roughing up the soil or surface to help the moss adhere. Gently press live moss onto the area, mist with water, and keep it consistently moist for several weeks to encourage establishment. Moss prefers rainwater or distilled water, as tap water may contain minerals that hinder growth.

Once established, moss requires very little care—no mowing, fertilizing, or pruning. Simply keep it moist and remove any fallen leaves or debris to prevent smothering. With its rich texture and calming appearance, moss adds a natural elegance and sense of tranquility to any landscape.

Tennessee Moss Takes Root in Georgia

My beautiful moss delivered to Atlanta from TN Nursery yesterday. It arrived looking lush and ready to beautify the earthy shaded areas around the sides of my house.

This morning, I followed the helpful installation instructions TN Nursery included with my order to get my mossy lil’ test patch planted. When I was done, it looked so dang good I began mapping out more shady spots to fill with my next order of moss.

They say a rolling stone gathers no moss. Well, I want my yard’s shady patches to gather MORE moss from TN Nursery because it looks approximately a thousand times better when it does.
