Cushion Moss : The Soft, Stylish Moss Taking Over Shade Gardens! #nativeplants #nativeperennials

Hey guys, it is Bailey with T&N Nursery. I wanted to show y'all our cushion moss today. It finally rained this morning, so we got to harvest a lot. And now this is one of our best-selling mosses, and, uh, it thrives in acidic soils and poor soils. It likes shade or part sun, and it doesn't need fertilizer to grow. It's deer resistant. It's awesome for lining shady garden pathways or walkways. It, uh, tolerates light foot traffic, so you can walk on it, but I wouldn't do it a lot. It's often found near pine trees in the wild. It has a soft, velvety-like feel that would put you in the mind of petting an animal. It cleans the air by trapping dust and pollutants. It's eco-friendly and it's an awesome ground cover. It survives dry spells by going dormant. It comes back really lush after a rain or misting. It doesn't attract pests or diseases. It helps retain soil moisture and prevents soil erosion. It loves to grow on rocks and logs and soil. It's a very hardy moss. It grows without roots. It doesn't need roots. As long as there's dead leaves or something for it to take nutrients from, it's fine. It is used in a lot of arts and crafts, like decorating and wreaths and arrangements. It absorbs water like a sponge. It's like a sponge when it comes to water. It grows slow, but it lives for decades. It outlives most humans. It's got a silvery green hue to it.
