Sphagnum moss grows mainly in Canada, US in Wisconsin, New Zealand, Japan and China. In North America at one time the sphagnum plant covered most of the northern hemisphere, but was killed as glaciers scraped deep into the earth as it moved south. Long fibered sphagnum moss is the tan/brown-colored perennial plant that still exists today in the US in harvest-able quantities only in the central counties of Wisconsin (Jackson and Monroe counties). It takes 5-10 years to grow back depending on the severity of the winters and the length of time that the plant is under water during the summer growing season. Sphagnum peat moss is the dead and decaying sphagnum plant. It is not renewable and is normally cut from the earth. Large sphagnum peat harvesting areas are in Michigan and Canada. Long fibered sphagnum plants are destroyed before or during the peat harvest process. Peat moss can be any type of decayed plant life, not just sphagnum.
