Perennials
Welcome to our Perennials Section. In doing research in the types of flowers we wanted to
grow our interest was directed toward antique and heirloom flowers. In other words, the types
of flowers your grandma used to grow in her flower garden. In this fast-paced world there are
a lot of things being left behind in the shuffle and one of them is the older varieties of flowers.
We have learned that one of the reasons these flowers have stood the test of time is because of their hardiness.
They tend to have a natural disease resistance, are very adaptable to most conditions and they most definitely
have a much more intense fragrance than the modern hybrids. We hope you learn something about the past and who knows,
you might just see that flower you remember growing in your grandmother’s garden!!!
