Our benches are filling up with all new plants for Spring 2015 ! With such a head start to the planting season, the plants are waiting for new homes right now! This picture (below) shows a range of Euphorbias, Sedges and Grasses, all of which will be fine if it does become cooler….Our selection of Hebes is fantastic ! These little shrubs are terrific in creative pot planting/combinations. Some are hardy, some are sometimes hardy and some are ‘annuals’…
Early vegetables are also in stock ! They have been ‘hardened off’ and can be planted out in the Vancouver area.
Hedging ? We sell YEWS, but not Cedars. Why?? Yews are a very dark green, clip very well, and genetically are not 100’ trees ! Of all the YEWS, ‘H.M. Eddie’ is our favourite. This selection produces NO BERRIES, and is therefore much cleaner in the garden. It is stiffly upright, tight growing (not floppy) and clips well. Also, H.M. Eddie was a legendary Vancouver nurseryman who operated just down Marine Drive, and was famous all over the world for his own rose introductions and the Dogwood hybrid he created, ‘Eddie’s White Wonder’.
So many things to write about…. look at these DOUBLE PRIMROSES ! They look like African Violets ! They would prefer to be out of the rain, but love the cool weather otherwise. They are also perennial, and only $3.99 each
