Hello everyone

I hope that you can help me
I need to find out urgetnly how long does the moss grow - the usual
moss that grows on the roofs and for what period
I searched all over the internet but I could find the info. the only
thing I`ve found was that moss can grow 4-6 inches, but it didn`t say
for what period of time?

Please help

Many thanks in advance

One would imagine that it is slightly slower than watching paint dry :~))

However it seems to depend on which type of moss, moisture, soil type etc etc

Also whereabouts the moss is growing:

per year)
