This Moss Rose is a ground cover plant that many gardeners will turn to for the hottest, driest, most problematic spots in the garden, and it establishes nicely from Moss Rose seeds.
Sow Moss Rose seeds in starter trays or individual pots 6 - 8 weeks before the end of the frost season. Press the ground cover seed into the soil but do not cover. The seeds need light to germinate. Transplant the Moss Rose seedlings into the garden 12 inches apart.
