Kraus's Golden Spikemoss (Selaginella kraussiana 'Aurea')
Kraus's Golden Spikemoss (Selaginella kraussiana 'Aurea')
The luminous golden color of this variation of Kraus's Spikemoss will light up any damp shady garden corner. If kept evenly moist this acommodating creeper will form a thick, vibrant golden carpet. It does not spread quite as fast as S. kraussiana 'Gold Tips’, making this cheerful ground cover a graceful but benign companion for larger ferns and perennials.
