Spanish Moss

Tillandsia usneoides

Discontinued

We do not carry Spanish Moss, but do have calls for it. It is a herbaceous epiphytic plant that absorbs its moisture and nutrients from the air, and only uses trees for support -- it is not a parasitic plant. It doesn't harm the Oak or Cypress trees it grows on. The moss can grow on itself, which would let it drip down from a tree up to 20 feet!
