About Us
Mosser Lee Company is a diversified horticulture company supplying proprietary branded products to distributors, retail lawn and garden centers and wholesale growers. The company is the largest harvester and fabricator of long fibered sphagnum moss products in North America.
Founded in 1932, operating continuously under the same family ownership, the company today manufactures products from locally grown long fibered sphagnum moss; provides a full range of decorative mosses and plant soil covers; and produces a line of soil testing meters and kits under the Soil MasterTM brand. All Mosser Lee Company products are designed for both the professional grower and home gardener.
Headquartered in Millston, Wisconsin at the entrance to the Black River Falls State Forest, the company's office, plant and warehouses are located near the sphagnum moss marshes.
Through its own harvesting operation and many dedicated, exclusive contractors, the company harvests the sphagnum moss plant throughout its extensive sphagnum moss marshes. Long fibered sphagnum moss is a perennial plant with unique water retention and anti-bacterial attributes which make it indispensable in the horticulture industry. Sphagnum moss is used extensively for such applications as seed germination, lining hanging baskets, airlayering, orchid propagation, seedling transplanting, mulching gardens, and decorative soil coverings.
Mosser Lee's sphagnum plant is winter hearty and dates back to the Jurassic period. Through a unique set of circumstances thousands of years ago, Wisconsin's famous sphagnum moss marshes were spared extinction when the glacier covered North America.
Mosser LeeTM and Soil MasterTM branded consumer products are available at lawn and garden centers throughout North America. Many can also be ordered directly through the Mosser Lee store on this web site.
Mosser Lee Company is an Equal Opportunity Employer and a member of several national horticultural and lawn and garden associations.
