Bryum argenteum
Bryum argenteum
Silver moss is a highly adaptable, cosmopolitan moss recognized by its silvery-green sheen and ability to colonize a wide variety of surfaces including concrete, pavement, and soil. It tolerates moderate drying better than most mosses, making it relatively forgiving for beginners. Ideal for terrariums, living walls, and shaded garden features where a low-growing green carpet is desired.
