In my experience, freezing does very little to sphagnum except stop
it growing for a short time. Sphagnum is very weedy stuff--all my
live sphagnum came from about four square inches which, potted in a
wide, shallow tray, eventually invaded surrounding pots. What of it
I've got outside has even survived being frozen solid and light
snowfall.
