Selaginella peruviana coll. #A2T-010 (Peruvian Spikemoss)

Sun to Part SunZone: 7-9, at least 1" tall Origin: USA

Web-Only! New crop available 9-4-2008 In 2000, we first saw this spikemoss in the arid Texas Hill Country. In our full-sun rock garden, it has formed a lovely 1" tall x 2' wide evergreen patch resembling a moldy pile of chewin' tobacco spit. Although heat- and drought-tolerant, it will curl up and turn brown if it gets too dry, only to re-hydrate when rain or irrigation arrives. We find it strange that very few gardeners grow our great native selaginellas, so we're out to change that...wish us luck. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
