Notes
'Gold Tips' club moss (Selaginella kraussiana 'Gold Tips') is a creeping perennial for containers, rock gardens, and ground cover. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 11 and warmer, down to about 40°F (4°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun to full shade and average to wet, clay soil. It is evergreen and spreads at a rapid pace, so give it room to roam. It sits low on the menu for rabbits. Its golden tips brighten shady spots.
Pairs well with Baby's tears, Looking Glass begonia, and Harlequin pothos.
