Have you seen how big our ferns get?! These monsters go a long way toward filling in bed space for a low cost. Not to mention they are drought and deer resistant, low maintenance, and create a lush, inviting atmosphere.

What a display by Holodiscus Discolor (Ocean Spray) this year. Such delicate, elegant white flowers that stand out beautifully against the mostly dark green backgrounds of our native forest. They are going to seed now, so look for these stunning additions to our nursery in the months to come!

Blechnum Spicant (Deer Fern) putting on a show in Port Renfrew. These really are beautiful plants and can grow into giants when given the right conditions. This one is in full sun, but there a consistent water source below ground. The fronds are about three feet high!

We have added another native plant to our inventory! Vaccinium Ovatum (or Evergreen Huckleberry) is an incredibly versatile and underused plant. Hearty and attractive, this tough plant is usually seen in the forest, yet can equally thrive in full sun. Small, white flowers in the spring grow into tasty, tart berries in late summer. Perfect for making jams and jellies. Consider adding this gem to your garden as a companion to large-leafed shrubs such as Rhododendrons, or as a stand alone shrub in attractive groupings. We are excited about this one!

We have recently added Licorice Fern to our Inventory! This hearty fern survives droughts and shows off its vivid green foliage during winter, when most other plants are less than impressive. See our website for details and prices!

It may seem dark and dreary but fall is a great time to plant. No hand watering or irrigation required, one good thing about all this rain!
