Enjoy fairy moss as an underplanting beneath taller water-garden favorites like canna or papyrus. These are the best plants for your water garden. How to Care For Fairy Moss Fairy moss grows fastest in full sun (at least 6 to 8 hours of direct light per day), but it tolerates sites that see only morning sun.
