Celebrating Our 36 Anniversary
For 36 years Whitehouse Nursery and Display Gardens has been a destination for Ottawa area gardeners. Whether you are a beginner or a plant collector you will find a great selection of top quality plants here. We carry the cutting edge perennials that have just hit the market as well as the old fashioned ones that your Grandmother grew. Beautiful, easy care shrubs, s

mall trees and conifers suitable for residential landscapes and Ornamental Grasses all share the space on our well stocked benches. We offer the best selection of Daylilies in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec with over 600 varieties growing on our property. Hostas and shade Perennials are also a speciality with 200 plus varieties of hostas for sale from miniatures to monsters. Our staff are all enthusiastic gardeners who love to talk about plants with you. We can help you design a garden or just find the one plant you need for a special spot. Our display gardens are a great source of ideas and inspiration when you are looking for plant combinations or wondering what a certain plant might look like when it is mature. Take that short drive to the beautiful Ottawa Valley town of Almonte and come see us. Bruce and Suzane

🌿 Salvia Pickup Update 🌿

Due to the unusually cold weather, our Salvia crop will not be ready for pickup until May 20th.

If you have preordered Salvia, your plants will be available for pickup anytime after that date.

We are unable to accept any additional orders at this time.

This spring’s cold conditions have slowed rooting and plant growth, delaying the production of many crops. As a result, availability of some perennials and shrubs will also be a little later.

We have a lot of plants in stock and more arriving all the time, but please call ahead if you are coming for a specific plant.

🌱 Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Spring is waking up at Whitehouse Perennials 🌱

For Bruce, this is his favourite time of the season — when everything starts to come back to life. It may be busy at the nursery, but in the garden, things slow right down.

No leaf blowers, no rough raking… just gentle hands making space for tiny new sprouts.

Put on some music, take your time — let it become a kind of meditation.

“Slow hands” 🎶 and an easy touch… a pretty great skill beyond the garden too.

We can’t wait to welcome you back this weekend, Friday May 1st!

🌿 This Seasons Hours:

Wed–Sat: 9:30–5

Sun: 9:30–4

Come see what’s growing 🌸

Happy Earth Day 🌿

For over 40 years, this space has been shaped by working with nature, not against it. Over time, that care has created something quietly special—a community where pollinators, insects, birds, wildlife, and people all feel at home.

It’s not something built overnight, but something that’s grown steadily, season by season. And because of that, you can feel the difference—life returning earlier than in less biodiverse areas, the space buzzing, the natural cycle continuing as it should.

It’s a reminder that even small, thoughtful choices can have a lasting impact on the world around us.

📸 Special shout out to our wonderful colleague Clare for her photographic skills!

If you have the chance today, take a moment to step outside, notice what’s growing, and appreciate the spaces and creatures—big or small—that support life 💚

And if you’d like to experience it for yourself, feel free to stop by this weekend and welcome in the spring 🌱

🌺 Turn Your Patio Into a Hummingbird Hangout 🌺

If you’ve noticed the constant flutter outside our office, you already know — hummingbirds and butterflies love these salvias. With rich colour and blooms that just keep coming, they’re a go-to for bringing life (and wings!) into your space all summer long.

This season’s standouts:
💜 Plum Crazy
🖤 Black & Bloom
💜 Purple & Bloom

These beauties are absolute favourites for pollinators — think of them as an open invitation for hummingbirds to stop by and stay awhile.

🌿 Choose from:
• Single plants in 11 cm pots
• Planters filled with 3 plants for a bold, ready-made display

They grow quickly and fill out beautifully, so give them a large container, fertilize regularly and enjoy the show!

Perfect for patios, porches, or tucked into your garden beds, they’ll keep the colour going right up until frost.

🌸 Available starting May long weekend — pre-order NOW to make sure you don’t miss out! These tend to disappear fast once they’re ready.

To order or for more information, email [email protected] 🦋 or call: 613-256-3406

We’ve extended our season since the drought delayed our peony harvest.
We’ll be open October 8, 9, and 10 from 9:30 to 5, and our fresh crop of peonies is now available.
Many plants are still on sale at greatly reduced prices.
After that, we’ll be open by appointment or chance.
If you’d like to discuss spring garden design projects or need advice, please call ahead.
We’ll be working in the garden regularly through the end of October, weather permitting.
