Description
Selaginella kraussiana 'Aurea' (Gold Clubmoss) is a beautifully textured, low-growing evergreen groundcover known for its vibrant golden-yellow foliage. Though it looks like moss, it’s a primitive vascular plant that forms soft, dense mats of finely divided, feathery foliage. The cheerful golden color brightens shaded areas and brings a lush, tropical feel to both gardens and indoor displays.
This variety is especially suited for moist, shady environments, making it an excellent choice for woodland gardens, terrariums, containers, or as a houseplant. It requires consistently moist soil and protection from direct sunlight to maintain its vivid color and soft texture.
