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 – or just the opposite – is a priority as we continue to see climate and weather changes. Mostly these are smaller bulbs and some perennials that grow well in rock gardens and troughs, although a few such as lilies and peonies are more suitable for garden borders. We hope you will take the opportunity to fill your garden with these mostly accomodating plants.
The nursery is located fourteen miles inland from the southwestern Oregon coast in the Coquille River Valley and receives about 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.
