NORTHWEST NATIVE PERENNIALS

Welcome to our Northwest Native Plant Catalog. We grow about 300 species of Northwest Native Plants. Our Native Plant Gardens and Nursery are here in the fertile Willamette Valley in Western Oregon - right on the 45th parallel.

Good luck and good gardening!
Using Pacific Northwest Native Perennials in the landscape is a relatively new idea. We've seen native ferns, shrubs and trees used for as long as we can remember, but the thought of including native perennials is just coming into it's own. And we think that's a wonderful thing. The English perennial border has long been the epitome of landscape couture. Imagine then, a perennial border populated solely with natives from the Pacific Northwest!

Tall Pearly Everlasting (Anaphalis margiaritaces) with their yellow blossoms, some groups of Red Columbine (Aguilegia), the purple of Douglas Asters (Symphyotrichum subspicatum), late spring spikes of Leichtlin's Camas (Camassia leichtlinii) in the back--they can get 4 feet tall!--and the Common Camas (Camassia quamash) popping up in the middle border. An adorable edging of Bunchberry (Cornus unalaschkensis) to keep things tidy would be just the ticket.

The variety of native perennials is broad enough to satisfy even the most demanding palette, and most appropriate for creating exquisite bouquets. Below is a complete list of all perennials we grow.
