From: £5.00
Introduce the vibrant Springy Turf Moss (Rhytidiadelphus Squarrosus) to your garden or natural displays. This common moss features shoots up to 10-15 cm long, with star-like, spreading leaves that create a lush, textured appearance. Perfect for lawns, terrariums, or natural crafts, it thrives in grasslands, heathlands, and wetlands. As a natural product, slight variations and small pieces of debris may be present but can be easily rinsed out at home.
Add the lush, vibrant texture of Springy Turf Moss (Rhytidiadelphus Squarrosus) to your garden or natural craft projects. Known for its distinctive star-like appearance, this extremely common moss features shoots ranging from a few centimeters up to 10-15 cm long. The 2-2.5 mm long leaves have a unique shape, bending sharply away from the red stem to spread out in all directions, creating a striking, textured look. The broad leaf base completely sheaths the stem, which is visible only through the leaves, adding to its dense, green coverage.
Springy Turf Moss is versatile and adaptable, thriving in a variety of habitats. It is commonly found in unimproved or semi-improved grasslands, forming extensive swards where the grass is short due to mowing or grazing. It can also occasionally be seen in heathlands, flushes, and other wetlands, making it a great choice for creating naturalistic, low-maintenance landscapes. While capsules are generally uncommon, they may appear in certain regions, adding seasonal interest to this already dynamic plant.
Perfect for eco-gardeners, landscapers, and craft enthusiasts, Springy Turf Moss is ideal for creating lush lawns, natural terrariums, or adding a touch of green to creative projects. Please note, as this is a natural product, there may be slight variations in color and texture, as well as small pieces of forest debris. These can be easily rinsed out at home, ensuring your moss is clean and ready to use.
Transform your green spaces with the unique beauty of Springy Turf Moss and enjoy the natural charm it brings to any setting.
