Lycopodium clavatum
Running Club Moss
Club mosses have dichotomously branching stems bearing simple leaves and reproduce by means of spores. They are not a true moss, but a dense, compact, moss-like plant that serves as a low-growing ground cover or a filler between paving stones. The miniature plant, which displays tiny white flowers in spring and summer, also grows well in rock gardens or containers.

Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Plant divisions in partial shade, in moist soil enriched with peat. Place the small clumps on the prepared soil, and press each clump firmly so it makes contact with the soil. Keep the moss moist until new growth indicates the plant has rooted.
