Mosser Lee Company
is the largest harvester and fabricator of long fibered sphagnum moss products in the world. Founded
in 1932, operating continuously under the same family ownership,
the company manufactures sphagnum moss products 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 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 Lee brand
consumer products are available at lawn and garden centers throughout
North America. They can also be ordered directly through Mosser Lee at this web site.
Mosser Lee Company
is an Equal Opportunity Employer and a member of several national
horticultural and lawn and garden associations.
