Phoenix Perennials

Phoenix Perennials and Specialty Plants Ltd. is Vancouver's cutting edge source for distinct perennials, fragrant shrubs, hardy subtropicals and the botanically intriguing. In 2007 we'll have about 3000 different species and cultivars of garden plants, mostly perennials, one of the largest and most exciting selections in the Lower Mainland and indeed in Canada.

Distinct Perennials: We stock the newest and best cultivars as well as the rare and unusual.

Fragrant Shrubs: A developing specialty for us -- come discover a host of excellent shrubs to add the dimension of fragrance to your garden.

Hardy Subtropicals: The Lower Mainland, sometimes referred to as the Canadian Riviera, is blessed with a mild climate that allows us to grow palm trees and bananas outside year round; but these subtropical staples are just the beginning.

The Botanically Intriguing: There are more than 250 000 species of plants in the world. In this section we offer plants to intrigue and astound you.

In-Nursery Design Service: Need some help planning a new bed or renovating an old one? Bring the measurements of your bed, a description of its location and photos if you have them. We'll work with you to select and place the perfect plants for your situation and goals. We can even send you home with a plant-by-numbers diagram. Please note: while we can usually help you with a design right on the spot sometimes the nursery might be too busy to offer this service. In such a case we would be happy to set up an appointment with you for a later date.

Themed Display Gardens: Come visit the Peach and Purple Garden, the Yellow and White Garden, the Hot Bed, and the Shade Border. In 2005 we'll be working to add the Succulent Garden and a Blue Border!

The Wish List: If you're after a plant that you don't see on this website or at the nursery, ask us to add you to the wish list. We'll keep our eyes open for sources and give you a call when we find the plant or propagate it ourselves.
