Native Plant selection

All our plants are local, indigenous species. Our plants are native to a variety of habitats in Southern Vancouver Island, including meadow, forest, wetland, and beach. Each is grown from seed or cuttings from our field-grown stock (not wild collected). All are grown without herbicides, pesticides (including neonicotinoids), and chemical fertilizers.

Below is a list of the potted plants we currently provide. We update our list regularly, so please check back to see what is in stock, and what new species have been added to our nursery. Species that are sold out in fall come available again through spring and summer. We grow our plants, often from seed, and appreciate your patience!

We are happy to accommodate custom and wholesale orders with appropriate notice. Plugs are also available for many of our species (inquire directly). Visit our Seeds page to see our current inventory and prices for seeds. For all orders, contact us at info@saanichnativeplants.ca.

Our new Resources page has plant lists for a variety of conditions and situations. Consult this page to help you choose the right native plants for your project.

SOLD OUT? Don't be too alarmed when you see species are sold out. We grow almost all of our plants from seed so sometimes it just means we're waiting on another batch to come to maturity. In spring, and into the peak of the growing season, you'll see many of our species come available again. If you see a species you're interested in, please feel free to write to info@saanichnativeplants.com to be placed on a call-back list. Orders are filled on a first-come first-serve basis and we take orders year-round. This can mean that for some desirable species, or species that take a long time to mature, that orders can take all the available plants so we encourage you to be added for call backs.

Please note that we can only hold orders with pre-payment.
