Moss in the winter

I have worked hard to get it established and I am wondering what happens to the moss in the winter. Do I need to give it some sort of special care? Will it die forcing me to start from scratch next year? The only thing I am sure of is that I have to keep the fall leaves off of it. I am zone 6a. Quote \| Reply \| Report

It does turn a bit brown, but a couple of warmish days seems to green it right back up. Quote \| Reply \| Report
