Horticulture/Mosses and Bryophytes

Mosses and Bryophytes

Bryophytes (non-vascular land plants), of which the most well-known are mosses, but also include liverworts and hortworts, are an ancient form of plants, suited to some forms of gardening. For similar uses, see lichen.

Particularly useful in rock gardens.

Examples

One of the most famous moss gardens is 苔寺 (koke dera, “moss temple”) of Saihō-ji, Kyoto.
