Overview

Clubmoss (Selaginella kraussiana) is a small, evergreen, creeping plant native to southeastern African forests. It grows to a height of up to one foot, and has an upright habit with wiry stems. Clubmoss has scaly, lance-shaped, bright green leaves with light veins running through them. The leaves are attached to a fleshy, upright stem. Hundreds of small, white spikes of flowers bloom in the spring and summer. Clubmoss prefers moist, well-drained soil and partial shade. It is easy to grow and makes a great low-maintenance groundcover in shady corners of a garden.
