Soleirolia Soleirolii (Baby Tears) is a compact evergreen groundcover prized for its dense mat of tiny bright green leaves. It creates a soft moss like appearance that instantly lifts shaded areas and containers. The fine textured foliage spreads evenly to form a neat carpet, making it visually appealing year round. Its fresh green colour pairs well with feature plants and adds contrast around rocks, paving and water features. This plant is ideal for creating a lush finished look in small spaces.

Perfect for shaded gardens, terrariums, hanging baskets and indoor pots, Baby Tears thrives in moist well drained soil with protection from harsh sun. It is an excellent choice for underplanting, edging pathways or softening hard landscaping. Easy to grow and quick to establish, it requires minimal care once settled. Customers choose this plant for its versatility, fast coverage and ability to deliver instant greenery in areas where other plants struggle.
