Moss for sunny rock garden

11 years ago

I have a rock island in a Japanese style garden and would like to plant a sun-tolerant moss around the rocks. One suggestion I found was Entodon Seductrix. Where would I find or purchase it? Any other suggestions?

Thanks -- gurujeet

There are alot of mosses that grow well in sun provided they receive some shading during the day as well as moisture, such as fogging. You might want to visit a local plant nursery and check out their potted plants to see if any have moss growing in them.
