Nature's Bounty

Nature's Bounty Looking for perennials for our zone 3 or lower? Some of the plants are unusual or heirloom!

If I'm selling them right now, they are likely to have overwintered in my yard, which is a windy, cold place, especially in the winter, so the plants are tough.

Comfrey is breaking dormancy! gallons $12 and smaller than gallons $10, no holds.
Black currant, some of them are flowering - yes you should have some berries this year! (gallon pots) - Consort variety. Harvest late July, early August. Makes great jam, syrup and drinks (have you ever tried Ribena juice?)
Nanking cherries! These trees are quite long lived, and bear beautiful light pink flowers in spring, a showstopper for a little tree! Gallon pots, $15 (they have just gone through 2 winters here).
Canada Red rhubarb is looking great! gallon pots, great price at $11 each for now.
Heirloom Tomatoes (you collect the seed) - Mortgage lifter, Black Krim, Tiny Tim (red cherry, great for hanging baskets) - $3 each or 10 for $25, CAsh. You pick up from me, close to Halkirk, fcfs, no holds, By appointment only.
All photos of super big or flowering plants, berries are what they might look like when mature.
Some of the plants still dormant or just breaking dormancy:
Careegana, common - 1 year old whips, in pots, $3.00 each. Great for shelterbelt. My mature careegana grew 4 feet last season, they grow fast!
Cactus (Opuntia Fragilis) - this has yellow blooms around July 1st
Catnip, gallon pots $12 - your furry friends will love this, and they are big enough a couple cats won't kill it. Bears lovely little blue flowers, a bee magnet, 2 - 3 feet tall and wide. 2 year old plants.
Hens and Chicks - $4.50 each or 10 pots for $20, a variety named Black sempervivum, I have found these to be fairly large and they overwinter well in my windy yard.
Gooseberry - Hinonmaki. Highly productive Finnish variety. Harvest July to early August. Makes great jam, or addition to oatmeal breakfast porridge! $10 per pot.
Goji berry - mostly gallon
Horseradish roots - fresh dug for now, $5 for a handful or so.
Manitoba maples (smaller than gallon, gallon pots, and 2 gallon) for between $8 and $25, depending on size. These trees grow to 39 feet tall and 33 feet wide.
Potentilla - gallon pots $16 each (yellow ones)
If you have any gallon pots or larger ones, I can put them to good use instead of them going to the landfill 🙂
All plants Alberta grown, Alberta Strong 🙂! I speak plantese, ask me questions regarding their care!

Pickled Egyptian walking onion tops - I haven't had the time to try this, but the pearl onions is something I want to try. They would probably be a nice accompaniment to meats, salads, etc....
I just ran out of my regular onion harvest, so can dig up a walking onion and slice up the bottom whenever I need one.
Plant these for a lifetime supply of onions - no running to the store for other onions unless one wants different varieties of onion.
I have some of these in gallon pots, if anyone wants some :)

Hello everyone - I am quite busy nowadays, and am going to just post plants direct in groups. If you want a specific plant I have listed, send me a text message to see if it is still available.
Thanks and happy gardening!

The native prickly pear cactus (Opuntia Fragilis) pots are forming flower buds on them now. I have a pot that had some Johnny Jump up seeds dropped in there probably by birds and they germinated this year. This pot has not had a single drop of water since snow melted over the top of it - I had no idea that Johnny Jump ups are so drought resistant!
Anyway, this is a novel way to dress up the cactus until it blooms 🥰
Cactus available in 4" pots, 3 stems per pot, $4.50 or 5 for $20. You need 5 pots to make one big pot. These pots can be sunk into the ground to overwinter in Alberta.

Cactus - yes, there is a perennial flowering cactus native to Alberta! They have both peach and yellow flowers on the same plant, and bloom around July 1st. The blooms resemble semi - transparent jewel like roses. I have a mature cactus clump in a clay pot (owl not included) for $25. Also available in 4" pots - 3 stems per pot, $4.50 each or 5 for $20. These plants have bloom buds on them!
The flowering ones are examples from past bloom years

Mortgage, lifters, golden, jubilee, and black Krim tomatoes. These are for fresh eating, not sauces. They are taste-test winners and absolutely delicious.
These plants have been hardened off to 4 degrees Celsius and are ready to plant! $2.50 per plant, a great price for these big plants.
I found out on YouTube through “self-sufficient me” that tomatoes turn mealy when put in the fridge. That could be one of the reasons, store-bought tomatoes taste awful besides that store-bought tomatoes are not heirloom varieties, which are tastier.
