Welcome to Gardeners, new, old, experienced, diligent or otherwise. There is a bulb waiting for you to try!
We’ve been in business for more than 35 years, and are focused on species cyclamen, both hardy and tender, and bulbs, most of which are drought-resistant. Drought resistance is a priority as we continue to see climate and weather changes. Mostly these are smaller bulbs, and this year there are more perennials that grow well in rock gardens and troughs or fit in smaller spaces, although a few such as lilies and peonies are more suitable for garden borders. Most new additions such as Antennarias, Geraniums, and Heucheras are mostly tolerant of drier conditions and some may be xeric in some zones. We hope you will take the opportunity to fill your garden with these accommodating plants.
The nursery is located fourteen miles inland from the southwestern Oregon coast in the Coquille River Valley and receives about 45- 52 inches of rain falling from October to May, or whenever it pleases these days.
Our focus has always been on quality and on providing hardy plants that will grow without a lot of attention, will tolerate dry conditions and will need minimal fertilizers and pesticides. If properly located in the garden, bulbs will survive amazingly well, provided they are watered during dry periods for the first year or two after planting. Weeding is probably the most important task, and my favorite form of meditation.
All plants listed in the catalog are grown from seed collected in the nursery or purchased through reliable sources or from divisions or cuttings. None are wild-collected.
