Moss Is an Evergreen Groundcover Favorite

Moss is a unique gardening concept for shaded areas in landscaping. It's an evergreen and makes a carpet-like appearance. It is a bio-indicator that not only cleans the soil but also the air.  Understanding these benefits will make it easier for you to choose a variety that suits your needs.

Moss Is a Bio-Indicator and Cleans the Environment

This lush green carpet plant can be used to fill in under trees and other shady areas in your garden, to prevent weeds. Different plants cannot thrive in these areas because they often require too much sun. By contrast, mosses do well in this environment and can quickly spread. It will also spread like a carpet across the ground, creating a very even and appealing coverage area.

Thriving in areas of moisture and the shady regions is the best environment. Many gardeners love this option because it creates a soft feel for their feet, allowing them to move relatively quickly through their garden barefoot. 

Mosses produce very bright green colors that appeal heavily to many gardeners. The diverse range of colors allows you to create striking looks that will stand out and make your garden more visually appealing. Ensure you choose the best option for your needs here, as many species will thrive quickly in these shady environments.

 Boosts Soil Quality

At Tennessee Wholesale Nursery, our varieties will spread widely across your shady areas, creating more stable soil. As its roots spread deeper into the ground, it prevents erosion and keeps your dirt and earth as connected as possible. This way, you don't have to worry as much about natural wear and tear damaging your garden, and your soil is naturally aerated at the same time.

Where Moss Works Best

Plant on steep hillsides for soil erosion or in sreas of high moisture where little else will grow. It also provides strong water-retention rates, which helps keep H2O close to your plants and trees at all times. These benefits make it worth the time and money you'll spend getting high-quality shade gardens.
