Dicranum scoparium Tray -- Shade -- Heat Tolerant -- Lawns, Features, Rock Gardens

Dicranum scoparium is a soft brilliant green moss species which grows in mounds and prefers acid soils or rock substrates. Usually it thrives best in shady locations. Called Mood Moss by many florists, Dicranum is known commonly in the scientific world as Windswept or Broom Moss because of the way the individual plants have leaves that curve. Although it can tolerate partial sun, it really prefers shade locations. Be careful of sun spots that occur in micro-habitats and cause center sections of colonies to “burn.” It does not tolerate wet feet or constant moisture. Using pine needles under the moss colonies provides better drainage. This species prefers acidic pH soil. Rhizoids provide little connection to soil so consider this moss for aesthetic rather than erosion control reasons.
