Introducing – Roots & Shoots!

We have retired from selling cut flowers.
Our new and evolving goal is bring you specialty and unusal varieties of flower seedlings, plugs, perennials, woodies, bulbs & tubers. We want to help YOU grow the same amazing cut flowers that we have been selling for over 10 years.

We sell to all kinds of flower lovers – cut flower farmers, flower farmer ‘wannabes’, garden clubs and backyard growers.
Our ‘niche’ is annuals, perennals, natives, bulbs, roots, tubers… anything that makes a nice cut flower.

We trial new varieties as they emerge, and we can also source specific varieties you are interested in.

We grow and propagate some of these plants ourselves. Others we source from larger greenhouses in Canada and the US.

You do not need to be a business to order from us. But some of our sales have minimums.

Our sales are seasonal. We do not operate a nursery with regular hours.


Below is a description of our seasonal sales. And subscribe here to get email notifications when various sales are opening.
And note – all our shops are at this NEW LINK. Bookmark it!

• This option is best for cut flower farmers who know what they want and who need wholesale quantities at the best possible price.
• Online shop opens mid September, to place advance orders for the following spring
• Plugs are custom grown to your order (In other words, there is no standing inventory. You order it. They grow it.)
• Low minimum – $300 per order (calculated before shipping fees & taxes). Under minimum orders are accepted, but a $50 PER ORDER fee applies. (So if you place 2 orders in the same shop, and both have less than $300 of product, you are charged $50 on each order.)
• Early order discount applies until mid October (exact date TBA). After than product pricing increases 10%
• Orders close December 31 – NO late or ‘last minute’ orders taken after this date.
