About this plant
'Weeping' moss develops hanging shoots that are useful for softening the outline of wood and other hardscape. Attach small portions where the trailing growth has room to develop. Periodic trimming maintains its hanging shape and allows the curved shoots to remain visible as the moss fills out.
