Welcome to our 2010 Catalogue
From February 19th-21st, we will host our first (hopefully, of many) Hellebore Extravaganza Weekend or ‘Helleborganza’ at the Nursery. So it won’t be surprising that at the top of the list of new plants for 2010 is Hellebores. We have many new introductions from many noted breeders and we are particularly excited about the selections from Marietta and Ernie O’byrne of Northwest Garden Nursery in Oregon and those from This year we are introducing a great number of new Asian perennials which we’ve been working on for years. We also travelled to Japan and brought back many fabulous selections for the woodland garden. This year We would like to thank our staff and our customers for making 2009 such a good year. We would also like to thank our suppliers and breeders for sharing their photographic images so we could share them with you Have a great gardening year,
Native and North American Native (N.A. Native) plants are indicated as such. Native means plants that are indigenous to the Pacific Northwest; which for our purposes is defined as Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and Northern California. In most cases; however, the plants are native to British Columbia. Plant height (Ht.) or occasionally flower height (Fl.Ht.) is given next in our descriptions, followed by hardiness zone (Z). Most of coastal B.C. is zone 8; the Gulf Islands and most of Victoria are zone 9. To determine what zone you are in, refer to the table on page 2 and remember that the temperatures listed are the twenty year, annual low temperature range in Celsius or Fahrenheit. They are not the absolute low for the zone. As all plants are container grown, we state pot size along with plant prices to give an indication of the size of the plant, which will vary depending on species. Pot sizes are standard nursery pots; 1gal = 1gallon pot etc. Prices listed are F.O.B. our farm. Shipping and mail order information is at the back of the catalogue. Hours of Operation:
