Blooming the Past in the Present
![]() | Heritage Flower Farm is a nursery bringing gardeners the living legacies of antique varieties of perennial flower plants -- those cultivated before 1900, and some before Roman times. Many carry fascinating histories, real or mythical. We are located in Southeastern Wisconsin. | |
We grow and sell long-forgotten plants such as the original Marshmallow, Althaea officinalis , cultivated in ancient Roman gardens and by Charlemagne in his 8th century garden. Rattlesnake master, Eryngium yuccifolium, is a Wisconsin native used long ago by the Forest Potawotami (now owners of Milwaukee's bingo hall) for good luck in gambling. Here you can find Iris pseudacorus, credited with saving King Clovis I of France in the 6th century when he sighted a clump growing across the river, showing where to ford the river and save his troops. Heritage Flower Farm has searched the world for seeds to grow antique perennials and cultivates more that 1000 perennial varieties. We will also offer a few old-time, hard-to-find annuals, such as Hyacinth bean and Viola tricolor. This catalog does not show all the plants that we grow. If you are looking for something in particular, please contact us - badelman@wi.rr.com or 262/662-0804 Each plant comes with a Plant Profile telling the plant's history as well as cultural information.
