Hidden Springs Flower Farm Is a family owned farm nursery specializing in mail order peonies, located on 54 acres in the beautiful Bluff Country of Southeastern Minnesota in Spring Grove. Over 600 varieties (34,000+ plants) are grown in the fertile soils nestled between wooded hillsides. We take personal pride in growing high quality, true to name peonies. From the proven Heirloom peonies to the new Itoh Hybrids we offer a wide selection of peonies including; large blossomed fragrant garden varieties, new yellow intersectionals, species, the red fern-leaf peony and hard to find and much sought after hybrid peonies in vibrant true red, coral and unusual colors. We are true peony specialists having spent many years growing from seed a large number of the wild species peonies from around the world. The mature plants that we offer our customers save you up to 7 years of growing the small seedlings offered by most other growers of these rare species. Our peony hybridizing program includes several varieties selected out of thousands of seedlings currently going under final evaluations before registration and release in the near future. We are working on the third generation of a zone 4 hardy tree peony strain grown under rigorous field conditions without winter protective cover. Hidden Springs Flower Farm Owners Owners, Harvey and Brigitte Buchite along with their children have been involved in raising plants nearly all of their lives. Harvey graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in horticulture and spent 17 years working for the U of M and MN Extension Service, followed by 10 years as a partner at Rice Creek Gardens, a specialty plant nursery in Blaine. Brigitte, a native of Austria, graduated from the University of Bodenkultur in Vienna, Austria with a Masters Degree in Agriculture. Harvey and Brigitte introduced the gardening world to Wisteria Blue Moon, their own selected seedling that has proved to be hardy to -40 degrees and blooms three times a year in long clusters of fragrant flowers. Harvey is a popular garden speaker, with presentations on; Peonies, European Alpine and Rock Garden Plants, Perennials, and Daylilies. His presentations have taken him to garden groups in Canada, Europe, and throughout the Midwest. As past president of the Minnesota Peony Society and current President of the American Peony Society he is deeply committed to helping others learn about one of his favorite plants. Many of his peony articles can be found on the Web, in various publications and will also be featured here on our website. Extensive travel in Europe to visit nurseries and gardens has allowed Brigitte and Harvey to scout out a wide variety of select and unusual plants. We enjoy sharing our passion for rare and interesting plants by making them available to our customers. Our active perennial and woody plant hybridizing programs allow us to bring the best and hardiest plants to our customers, well suited for our demanding climate extremes. Happy Gardening and Thanks to all our past and new customers! We look forward to helping you reach your garden dreams, Brigitte and Harvey

Sorry No Onsite Farm Sales or Visits in 2008 The unprecedented heavy rains in 2007 brought a temporary set back to our development plans as each successive rain deteriorated more of our newly made roads and walking paths. We took a step back and looked at what we could accomplish realistically after this and so, in 2008 we will focus on repairs and further display plantings. The good news is: We will have online sales of peonies this season! What the Future Holds For Hidden Springs Flower Farm While the peonies, daylilies, hosta and iris were planted to get a head start we are busy developing the rest of the nursery with specialty plantings of Rhododendrons, Magnolias, Flowering Crabapples, Lilacs, Antique Roses, Hardy Cactus, Flowering Woodland Plants, and Dwarf and Weeping Conifers as well as our special alpine plants from Brigitte‘s homeland. Once our new construction is complete we will be offering potted plants onsite. Please read the next section for details. We will start construction as soon as possible and hope to have it complete by fall of 2009. Until then, we are not open to the public onsite since we would not want to entertain guest until comfortable facilities are complete and the gardens are at their best, as well as the complicating hazards presented during construction. We appreciate your understanding and patience in this regard. We are thrilled at the challenges ahead as we reshape the new nursery. Please take a look at our peony offerings and order with confidence as many of our orders come from happy repeat customers from across the United States.
