Plant Rose Moss Seeds

• 1). Prepare your seed location. It doesn't matter if you are planting in a basket or between paving stones; rose moss needs well-draining soil for its foundation. Soil need not be rich, as this plant does well even in poor to average soil. Add a bit of high-nitrogen fertilizer to the location to speed growth.
  
  
• 2). Distribute and cover your seeds. Rose moss seeds are quite small, so just distribute them as evenly as you can. You will thin the plants later. Cover your seeds with 1/4 to 1/2 inch of soil and press into place. Water gently and completely.
  
  
• 3). Keep soil moist until your plants are established, then water when soil dries out. Thin three-inch-tall seedlings so that the remaining ones are about nine inches apart. The plants will spread and thicken.
  
  
• 4). Care for your seedlings. Add a bit of high-phosphorus fertilizer when blooming starts, if desired. Prune your plants when they get long to force them to thicken up. Remove spent flowers to prolong the blooming cycle.
