Spanish moss is a native, perennial epiphytic herb. It is not Spanish, nor a moss, but a flowering plant. The slender, wiry, long, branching stems (reaching 8m or more) grow as suspended, bluish-gray streamers and garlands draping among tree branches and sometimes telephone lines and fences.t is said to be excellent mulch for the garden. Spanish moss is grown commercially for use as packing material and as a replacement for horsehair in upholstery and mattress stuffing. Campers, because of red bugs and chiggers do not recommend the plants for use as bedding.
They are one of the oldest living vascular plants. The club mosses are part of the family Lycopodiaceae and the Phylum Lycophyta. The Lycophytes were once a large group of land plants that existed during the Carboniferous Period. These lycophytes grew to be as tall as 100 feet. About 250 million years ago though, most of the species had died out. The club mosses that we know of today are evergreen plants with needle-like leaves. Like other vascular plants, club mosses have true roots, leaves and stems. This allows for the plant to absorb water and minerals. The club mosses also have an underground horizontal stem called a rhizome.
