can contains a perennial variety suitable for growing around stone paths, walkways,

Moss - Evergreen perennial ground cover grows 4-8" high. Dark green,
moss-like leaves form velvety carpet; tiny white flowers bloom profusely in summer.
Hardy plant prefers rich, well-drained soil; tolerates heat and light. Withstands
light foot traffic. Directions
- Shake can well be for using. Preparing
the soil - Plant seeds in a sunny to partially shaded area in early spring
after all danger of frost has passed. Loosen the soil surrounding the walkway/
pathway material. Be sure to leave a space of 2" (5cm) from the sowed seeds
and the walkway material to allow for growth. Sow seeds to a depth of ¼"
(6mm) evenly throughout the planting area. Lightly rake again to create a good
see/soil contact. Lightly water immediately after sowing, using a fine spray.
Avoid puddling. Keep seedbed moist until seedlings are well established. Continue
to water as needed. Maintenance
