    This spikemoss grows like a round pincushion rather than a groundcover. Its form of growth adapts well to dish planters or terrariums.

    By: Phoenix Perennials and Specialty Plants Ltd.

    Charming, fern-like perennial that forms a low, mounded cushion of whorled green leaves. Ideal for terrariums or dish gardens. Thrives in moist conditions with high humidity and moderate to low light. A good companion for ferns or other shade-lovers. Perfect for enclosed gardens.
