Portland Nursery

We strive to provide our customers with a full range of annuals and perennials to compliment any style or garden setting. From the garden staples of impatiens and daylilies to hottest plants of the season we aim to please with our huge selection. Due to our passion for plants we seek out the rare and unusual specimens from some of the most specialized growers in the Willamette Valley. Our peak season for annuals is April through June. Spring annuals start in early March with Geraniums, Bacopa and Helichrysum, and goes through fall with ornamental peppers and cabbage. Some of the larger and more unusual annuals, tropicals, big annual vines and rare succulents arrive in July and August. For winter, we carry pansies and primroses for color along with a full selection of evergreen perennials, grasses and ferns. We have organized our annuals into three sections to specifically help with container design. Thrillers are the main attraction in the container. They are often bold, colorful, eye-catching components that add height to the design. Fillers are the fluffy middle layer that adds body to the composition. Spillers are the trailing accents that spill over the edges of the container and tie the whole composition together. Choose plants from each category with complementary color and texture for a well balanced container design. We have a wonderful selection of perennials year round and our product diversity really blossoms in spring. We usually have the best selection of specific perennials when they are in bloom around town (for example, Crocosmia 'Lucifer' in August). In summer and fall our selection of ornamental grasses is extensive. Lastly, all year we carry a full line of ground covers and helpful brochures to fit your needs. Our Perennial Pick of the Month features a perennial at the peak of its season. We also tantalize your garden pallet with a seasonally inspired recipe card for our monthly container design. Don't forget to visit our online Help Desk which offers several printable brochures for annuals, perennials and for recommended plants for special situations such as dry shade or hot sun.
