You Gotta See This: Phoenix Perennials
Today I dropped by my very favourite nursery in the Greater Vancouver area and the blooms on display simply blew my mind. So gorgeous it was worth a shout out.
Phoenix Perennials in Richmond features one of the largest selections of perennials in Canada with over 4,000 plants. Not only are the plants beautiful, rare, and impecably tended to by great staff, but right now the whole place looks like a plant carnival with so many rich colours of blooms and leaves and bracts.
It’s really the best show in town and the good news gets better: this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday is The Summer Sizzle – 30% off plants, pots, and iron work. There are a series of free workshops this weekend as well - check out the e-newsletter for more details.
I’m hoping to steal a little of my time (which has been currently dedicated to the community garden) to get there myself and pick up a few show stoppers for my front yard garden. Hmmm, now where can I find some room….

That’s always the challenge isn’t it? Finding the room :) I love Phoenix Perennials! Haven’t been in a while though. This would be a great time of year for a visit. Gorgeous display!

What a mix of coral bells, amazing. The celeriac forms above the soil. It is my first time trying them as well, not sure how long they take to grown.

The Heucheras are so colorful, they look unreal! Sounds like a “dangerous” place to visit.

Every town in America should have a Phoenix Perennials–a place with more plant choices than we can possibly assimilate in one or ten visits. The world would be a much calmer place if there were more gardens and happy garden people who can routinely drool and gawk. I hope you find some great buys.
