I need some help!!

13 years ago

Hi everyone, I am a visitor from the daylily forum and I have a picture of a moss/fern in my flower bed and I really would love to know what it is. It only gets about 5 or 6 inches and has a beautiful turqoise color in the shade but is green where there's more sun.. I have added a picture..Thank you for any help you can give me. I use it as a ground cover...Ellie

It is a Selaginella, of the Stachygynandrum section.
Probably S. uncinata

Thank you Terrestrial Man. The potted one looks exactly like mine. The pic I took was exposed to the sun but mine is very blue.. I do appreciate your help...Ellie
