A Magic Moss Garden
A beautiful bowl of moss. But how is it surviving in this hot weather?
Well it’s surviving because it’s Scleranthus not moss! A beautiful green substitute that looks great spilling over in tubs or bowls.
Scleranthus is a small genus in the Caryophyllaceae family, a family that includes the exotic Carnations. Of the ten known species of Scleranthus, four are endemic to eastern Australia, the remainder native to Europe, Africa and Asia.
Scleranthus biflorus is widely distributed in Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, Queensland and New Zealand, from the coast to alpine areas.
