Conditions: Full sun to partial shade
Thudium Moss
Thudium Moss, scientific name Thuidium Delicatulum, features soft, velvety frond-like leaves that resemble tiny ferns. A pleurocarpous perennial plant native to wide areas of North America, this moss spreads across the soil, dead wood, bricks, and stones in a dense carpet of yellowish to green leaves.
Also known as fern moss or common fern moss, Thudium is a hardy, low maintenance ground cover requiring little watering after it reaches maturity. Preferring partial sun or full shade, Thudium Moss functions naturally as live mulch, growing up to 12 inches in a year.
The stem of each fern-like leaf reaches up to 8.5 centimeters (or 3.5 inches)long, while the largest of the offshoot leaves measure up to .5 millimeters. The larger leaves, each of which functions as a stem for smaller leaves, are broadly oval to triangular in shape and roll downwards. The smaller of the leaves, shooting off from the larger leaves, feature tiny, hair-like cilia.
Secondary cylindrical stalks, light green to muted red, will occasionally grow from the moss's leaves. These stalks bear spore capsules that are between 2 and 4 millimeters long. The spore capsule changes color as it matures, from light green to red. Thudium Moss reproduces when the lid of the capsule drops, and the spores released into the wind.
