What we're all about

We started Toadshade Wildflower Farm to make native wildflowers, particularly perennials, more easily available. Our intention is to 1) provide native, perennial, propagated wildflower plants, 2) identify available plants clearly by both common and scientific name, 3) and clearly summarize the native range of the wildflowers for sale.

Accordingly, all of the plants that we offer are native (not alien, introduced, or naturalized) as well as we can determine, and they're all propagated here at the farm. For each plant species, we have tried 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 of sources (see references below). I would encourage you to order plants that are native to your area. Planted within their native ranges, in sites appropriate to them, native perennial wildflowers will provide lasting color and interest for years to come.

Spring is here at Toadshade Wildflower Farm and we are busy shipping plants!

This web site has been updated to include several new species.

The new 2008 catologue is now available. Request your copy today!

We have added several new species and returned some old favorites to the Web Site. Check out the species lists to get your first chance to see what plants are available! We are still finishing up decriptions, illustrations and loading pictures of our new plants - please be patient with us as we add the final touches.

As always, we will resume shipping the first week of April (when it is safe for the plants!). You may order at any time and we will reserve your plants for you.

Let us know if you have any particular native plants that you're looking for. We always have new species coming along, so we may have what you are looking for (in small numbers.) If we don't have it, we'll try to add it to a future catalogue!
