Mosses and Ferns

Eye-Catching, Hardy and Sustainable

Witnessing the early spring emergence of a fern is nothing short of astounding and quite the sight to behold! And should someone tell you this brings the thought of prehistoric dinosaurs to mind, take them at their word: Ferns date back more than 100 million years.

Vivid uses fern material as a dynamic groundcover or specimen plants, as they are among our garden favorites. With an abundance of species available, ferns’ attractive foliage invokes a sense of harmony and piques interest. Ferns are the perfect material for a shady alcove or a somber corner area calling for attention.

Not nearly as "old" as the fern, mosses are equally valued for their attractively soft character and low-nutrient requirements. Intense in color, dramatic in texture and naturally "self-evolving," mosses impressively sustain foot traffic, don’t compete with their neighboring elements and are simply refreshing when used to give the impression of turf, a non-sustainable material.

With fervor and great respect for the importance of plant diversification, Vivid designs often integrate ferns and mosses into your garden palette, to produce the dual benefit of capturing visual interest while adding sustainable material to your garden.
