Perennials
The heart and soul of a lasting garden.
From hardy natives that return stronger each season to rare and unusual varieties you won’t find at your local nursery, our perennials are selected to thrive and inspire. Whether you’re building a pollinator haven or adding structure and colour to your beds, we’ve got something special waiting to take root.
Please note we are only shipping in the fall, within Canada, and that shipping is limited to plants that fall within a certain size and durability range. We will begin taking orders August 15th 2025 and will drop a list of available plants shortly before that. Please also note that this grow list is a living document that changes with the seasons and daily sales. It is constantly in flux and is meant to give a general idea of what we grow rather than a concrete list. Though we generally have the majority of these plants in stock, we cannot make any guarantees.
