The Hydrangea Hysteria 
Pre-Order
You'll Go Crazy for these 70 Top Cultivars

Hysteria (noun): 1. A wild uncontrollable emotion or excitement exhibited in gardeners when a state of plant lust becomes uncontrollable. 2. a functional disturbance of the nervous system, of psychoneurotic origin, caused by the presentation of too many amazingly beautiful things, for example the Hydrangea Hysteria Pre-Order at Phoenix Perennials.

The past 10-15 years has seen an incredible number of distinctive and unusual Hydrangea introductions with innovations like the ability to bloom on new wood, dwarf habits, and new flower forms & colours. In this pre-order we assemble a specially curated selection of the best that the Hydrangea world has to offer including many hot new introductions as well as some tried and true classic performers.
Available for: PICK-UP ONLY. These pots are too big to ship via Canada Post. However, orders of any size can be couriered within the Lower Mainland. Elsewhere in BC we can ship larger orders via freight on pallets to most cities and larger towns. Please select the shipping option when you check out and then place a note in the Notes field that you would like courier or freight service. We will be in touch to let you know the costs.

The Amazing Apple Pre-Order
59 Heirloom, Red Flesh, and Dwarf Varieties for Pick-Up in March/April 2022

We are pleased to launch a brand new pre-order featuring rare heirloom and red flesh apples along with trees for small spaces including modern varieties grafted onto dwarf and mini-dwarf rootstock and columnar cultivars. All of these apples should be hardy to zone 4. Most will require another different apple as a pollenizer so we recommend planting more than one apple in your garden. However, if your neighbours have apple or crabapple trees, these can also act as pollenizers.

Red flesh apples are among the most intriguing and popular cultivars among apple collectors. They are crosses of red fleshed crabapples from Central Asia with white fleshed commercial apples. The resultant cultivars have flesh that ranges from soft pink to bright pink to bright red. Some cultivars have a mix of white and red throughout the flesh. Their blooms are also often pink or dark pink. As with all apples, each red flesh cultivar has its own particular flavour, aroma, and balance of sweetness and tartness. Red flesh apples can be used for fresh eating but they become particularly fun for use in pies, and for apple sauce and ciders!

Heirloom Apples: We are excited to offer a wide range of heritage apples from Europe and North America, many of which are hundreds of years old. These apples connect us with gardeners and apple lovers as far back as the 1600s but also offer us fun and unusual shapes, colours, textures and flavours for fresh eating and to play with in the kitchen.

Dwarf, Mini-Dwarf, and Columnar Apples: These mostly modern cultivars offer sizes and shapes that fit better into our smaller gardens but still provide great production.
The Grafted Veggie Pre-Order
Choose from 33 different veggies including Mighty Matos, Mighty Melons, Mighty Veggies and Ketchup 'n Fries!

Welcome to our Grafted Veggie Pre-Order offering hand-grafted edible plants that will produce at least 2-3 times more fruit and offer more disease resistance and cold tolerance than own-root veggies.

This summer we are launching our main selection but more roses will be added. Weeks tree roses will be added this fall and more David Austin roses will be launched this fall/winter once our orders are confirmed.

We are pleased to let you know that we have secured new growers that should ensure a more reliable supply of roses compared with 2021 and we have gained extra assurances from our previous rose suppliers of a more secure supply going forward. We hope that from 2022 onwards we will not see the shortages and disappointment that we all experienced in 2021.
