The Wilds love of flowers dates back to when Herman Wild was on a Wagon train to the southwest, when it broke down. Influenced by the wonderful meadows of wildflowers, he settled in Sarcoxie in 1868. In 1885 Gilbert Herman Wild paid $45.00 for a crate of peony roots from Europe, and they were planted behind the family home. Three years later the flower blooms were sold to an Omaha Wholesaler for $3.00. That single sale launched Gilbert H. Wild to begin a lifetime of passion for the peonies.
|  | | Today we farm nearly 450 acres of rich Missouri farm land, some of it the same ground Gilbert H. Wild began raising peonies in 124 years ago! Since that time, we’ve grown to be one of the largest growers of daylilies, peonies, and iris in the world. We have stuck to Gilbert’s principles of the best plants, for the best prices. We don’t just talk about quality and value, we live it!
We are still a family owned business, we still grow all our daylilies, iris and peonies, and we work many hours so that our plants may live up to your expectations! Please visit anytime you’re in the area, we love meeting our customers face to face. One of the most beautiful sites in the world is our 150 acre field of lilies in bloom at one time. |  | In 2008 we harvested nearly 1,000,000 plants, all raised here. We currently grow over 1,800 varieties of daylilies, 600 varieties of peonies and 120 varieties of iris. We take great pride in our plants! Each plant is planted by hand in our rich Ozark Mountain soil. When you place your order it is dug by hand, right from our field, before we ship to you. We deliver the highest quality, freshest plant available on the market. You can order with confidence from Gilbert H. Wild because all of our plants are guaranteed.
