Select Seeds - Antique Flowers Brings The Flowers Our
Grandmothers Loved Into Our Gardens Once More
Their catalog
is for the gardener who enjoys antique, heirloom flowers,
their fragrance, grace, vigor, history, and unending
variety.
They offer choice seed selections of rare, old-fashioned
flower varieties and your favorite garden flowers, plus
starter plants including scented geraniums, fragrant
varieties, flowering vines, coleus, container plants,
perennials, and so much more!
What is an Antique Flower? Antique Flowers are
open-pollinated varieties that originated 50 or more
years ago. The seeds from open-pollinated flowers
will reproduce true to type, that is, they will grow
into new plants that look like the parent plant.
Many antique flowers are hard to find heirlooms, passed
from one generation to another.

Toadshade
Wildflower Farm |
|
Randi Eckle and company started Toadshade Wildflower
Farm to make native wildflowers, particularly perennials,
more easily available. Their intention is to (1)
provide native, perennial, propagated wildflower plants,
(2) identify available plants clearly by both common
and scientific name, and (3) clearly summarize the native
range of the wildflowers for sale.
Accordingly, all of the plants that they offer are native
(not alien, introduced, or naturalized) as well as they
can determine, and they're propagated on Toadshade
Farm. For each plant species they try to list
the most often used common names, the scientific names,
the preferred growth habit, and the native range based
on information from a number or sources.
They currently offer 5 species of violets.
