About the Vertical Walls
Selaginella
We used Selaginella moss generously loaned by T&L Nursery in Redmond for the side walls. The specific varieties are:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Selaginella kraussiana ‘Aurea’ | The golden one, with a loose habit |
| Selaginella kraussiana ‘Brownii’ | The dark one, with a tight habit |
We used the Color Max Etera Sedum Tiles against the back wall. They were generously loaned to us by Northwest Horticulture, a Wholesale Perennial Grower in Mount Vernon. The varieties are detailed below.

| Sedum album ‘Coral Carpet’ | Basic in green roofs, widely used, fast growth, good for low fill-in, green summer foliage turns deep red in winter, topped with attractive coral-pink flowers in early summer, recommended. |
| Sedum album ‘Orange Ice’ | Selected for orange-colored winter foliage. |
| Sedum ‘Weighenstephaner Gold’ | Attractive, commonly used, very good for year round interest and color, strong flowering, deep orange to red winter color. |
