Moss as a ground cover

Moss is a small, green, non-flowering plant that thrives in shaded, moist environments. As a ground cover, it creates a lush, uniform carpet that adds beauty to landscapes and gardens. Unlike traditional grass, moss requires less maintenance; it doesn’t need mowing, fertilizing, or frequent watering. It helps prevent soil erosion, retains moisture, and can improve soil quality over time. Moss is also beneficial for biodiversity, providing habitat for small creatures. Its unique texture and color can enhance the visual appeal of patios, walkways, and woodland areas, making it an attractive and sustainable landscaping option.
