Frosty Fern Club Moss


Club Moss
Selaginella kraussiana 'Frosty Fern'
(sell-lah-gi-NEL-uh) (krau-see-AY-nuh)

Interesting little plant I saw at the wholesale nursery I visited to buy some Poinsettias. I didn’t buy one but wish that I had. Most Club Moss is hardy to 10 deg. F but a few are even less so. It likes to be kept moist and needs strong light but not direct sunlight. This is a good plant for a terrarium or maybe a shelf on the bathroom window. It likes humidity.

We are expecting a major snowstorm today. Gawd, I hate that, I still have a lot of work to do in the garden. The totals keep going up every time I watch the weather forecast. They are now saying up to 11 inches (about 28 cm.) by tonight. Ugh.
