Plant Overview

Scotch Moss is a delightful, low-growing groundcover that creates a soft, cushiony carpet of bright chartreuse-yellow foliage. This versatile plant forms dense mats of tiny leaves, adding a vibrant pop of color to any garden space. Perfect for rock gardens, between stepping stones, or as a lawn alternative, Scotch Moss maintains its striking color throughout the growing season.

Plant Information

Plant Care

Scotch Moss thrives with regular maintenance and proper moisture levels. Water regularly to maintain consistently moist soil, especially during establishment and hot periods. While drought-tolerant once established, it performs best with reliable moisture. Trim occasionally to maintain shape and remove any brown patches. Fertilize lightly in spring with a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer.

Planting Instructions

Plant Scotch Moss in spring or fall for best results. Prepare the planting area by loosening soil to a depth of 6 inches and incorporating organic matter. Space plants 6-8 inches apart to allow for spread. Plant at the same depth as the nursery container and water thoroughly after planting. Apply a thin layer of mulch between plants, being careful not to cover the foliage. Maintain consistent moisture until plants are established, typically 4-6 weeks.
