Types of Moss Available:

Sheet Moss (Hypnum): A versatile, low growing moss with a high transplant success rate. Hypnum thrives in shade, but will also tolerate dappled sunlight (not extended direct afternoon sun). The color is medium green. This moss is available by the square foot or pre-ground - see order form for details. This moss can tolerate some foot traffic, and is the easiest to work with.

Rock Cap Moss (Dicranum): Typically found growing atop rocks and boulders in the wild, this dense, medium to dark green moss transplants fairly well into shady areas either onto rocks, or in many locations, soil. This moss is offered by the clump or pre-ground.

Haircap Moss (Polytrichum): Haircap moss has soil anchoring structures that closely resemble and function like roots. For this reason, we ship this species in clumps with a small amount of soil still attached. Haircap moss prefers medium shade to partial sun, and likes a well drained soil.

Cushion Moss (Leucobryum): Prefers sandy soil, likes shade, but can tolerate partial sun. This moss is a lighter green color with a silvery-white cast to it. It grows in a round cushion shape, and is shipped in clumps.

We also offer starter products:

Packaging & Shipping Techniques
Our moss is cultivated and harvested for shipment in three basic formats:

1) By the square foot: Hypnum / Fern Moss (technically the genus Hypnum) is "peeled" back from rock, log, and soil surfaces, dried (to prevent molding during storage) and then packaged in breathable cardboard boxes. The moss will be shipped dry most times of year but may be harvested damp and shipped immediately during wetter periods, particularly in the spring. Dry moss can be stored for long periods if kept dry, damp moss should be planted soon after delivery. Shipping for all moss products is typically by UPS ground. Irregularly shaped sections typically range in size from 6” x 12” to as large as 18” x 24”.

2) By the clump: Cushion moss and Rock Cap Moss are harvested in clumps/cushions ranging in size from 3” – 8” diameter – these are also typically shipped dry, but may be damp during the spring. Hair Cap moss is unique in that it is harvested and shipped with a small amount of "soil on", and will typically dry out slightly and "shrivel" somewhat during shipment. A thorough soaking of all mosses will quickly re-hydrate the plants, amazingly restoring them to their lusty green color and fullness within minutes.

3) Pre-ground moss: Both Hypnum / Fern moss and Rock Cap moss can be purchased “pre-ground” as ¼” - ½” fragments for cost-effectively “inoculating” green roofs or for creating expansive woodland moss lawns on large areas of bare soil in shaded areas. After broadcasting, moss fragments must be kept moist until the moss fills in.
