Sphagnum subsecundum
Also called Slender cow-horn bog-moss, Orange Peat Moss, Orange Peatmoss
Sphagnum subsecundum is a small, delicate bog-moss that grows in wet, nutrient-enriched wetlands such as fens, flushes and ditches. It is a wetland moss rather than a typical garden plant, and it needs constantly moist conditions to thrive.
Sphagnum subsecundum, the slender cow-horn bog-moss, is a species of moss in the family Sphagnaceae. It is the namesake of a species complex. The complex has a nearly worldwide distribution in wetlands, with the species proper found in Europe, eastern North America and North Africa (in the Tunisian Dar Fatma peatlands).
Sphagnum subsecundum predominantly occupies moderately nutrient-enriched wetland. It is commonly found in flushes, fens, ditches and swamps. It will occasionally appear in semi-submerged landscapes, such as areas that encounter winter flooding.
