Abstract
A synthetic top covering replicating a decorative moss used for dressing the top of potted plants and the like. The synthetic decorative moss is composed of a non-woven bundle of individual strands of kinked material which are gathered in a rope-fashion. One end of the bundle is secured to maintain the strands of the bundle together. The strands are colored to replicate moss, and have varying lengths. One or more of the bundles can be formed as a top dressing for a potted plant and the like by draping them in a mat on the plant, with any free ends tucked beneath the mat to hide the gathered ends of the bundles.
