Moss Types:

 

Mosses are used as fillers in
floral arrangements.

• Spanish Moss: has a warm brown color, and can be used to cover the foam and mechanics of design in a permanent botanical arrangement. As a general rule, Spanish moss is used either for its specific texture or color, working best with cool colors like blues, purples, and grays.
• Sheet Moss: is a green moss with applications that are similar to those of Spanish moss, but it works best with warmer colors like reds, golds, and oranges.
• Reindeer Moss: is a gray-green, sponge-like moss that grows on the ground about 1 to 4 inches in height. Reindeer moss is used to support a focal point in arrangements or mixed with other mosses as filler.
• Natural Excelsior: Used for the same purpose as moss, excelsior is made from wood shavings. It is used to cover dry foam for silk and dried floral arrangements or in baskets as filler.
