As mentioned on the previous page with Irish Moss, Scotch moss favors clay soil and has a yellow tint to the foliage. Both plants can be evergreen in warmer climates, where they also appreciate a bit more shade or they become unattractive until fall. Both dislike drought and the other extreme, wet feet.
