Big planting project? Plants with large quantities available

Fall is time to dream big and a great time for planting. We have so many good plant choices for landscape projects you can purchase in abundance. Have them delivered right to your doorstep ready for planting day. Read on for highlights of our favorite plants currently available in large quantities for landscapers or those tackling big areas of their own gardens.

Groundcovers

Grassy effects

In the groundcover department we love the tough-as-nails yet strikingly beautiful Japanese Sedge, Carex oshimensis ‘Evergold’, which is great for massing under trees or prized specimens and offers year-round interest. Carex is such a handy plant for a grass texture in the shade where true grasses would not thrive.

About as black as you can get in the plant world, the sophisticated Ophiopogon planiscapus ‘Kokuryu’ Black Mondo Grass is a very low maintenance plant and resistant to slugs and snails. It makes such a high-impact combo with grey or chartreuse foliage

Succulents

Another special groundcover choice which is also wonderful in pots or tucked into any bare nooks and crannies is Sempervivum ‘Royal Ruby’ which is hardy to zone 4 (!!!) and looks stunning looks incredible en masse. In rainy Portland it will transport you to the warmer climes of pink terracotta walls.

Statement perennials

Bold, glossy, rich, and architectural! And all that before the pineapple flower spikes even emerge. Eucomis comosa ‘Sparkling Burgundy’  is so chic and makes an exciting pairing with so many things.

There have been so many gorgeous new Echinaceas developed recently. Echinacea ‘Hot Papaya’ is an easy-to-grow, low-water coneflower which is a real stand-out in the garden and in the vase. Be sure to leave the pretty flower heads to enjoy for Winter interest.

Hardworking evergreen shrubs

To be honest I’d plant Kleim’s Hardy Gardenia in abundance without ever seeing the flowers. I love the shiny, dark, evergreen foliage which adds some solid structure and an heir of formality to the garden. But the flowers really make me swoon and remind me of my childhood on Maui where I used to pluck one to wear behind my ear on the way to school so I could keep the scent with me all day.

Favorite Groundcovers to Plant Now

Let’s all make some jazz hands for…GROUNDCOVERS! I know, I know, they may seem boring or like a filler, an afterthought, a placeholder for something more exciting. 

Hakonechloa

But they can be a main attraction when they look as dazzling as the glowing and cascading variegated Japanese Forest Grass, Hakonechloa macra ‘Aureola’. Even the smallest garden can use some cascading out of pots, it adds a sense of movement and softness and is a great backdrop for dark foliage or flowers.

And another one for you charteuse lovers, the groundcover Selaginella kraussiana ‘Aurea’ creates shape and drama in its own way by acting as a soft, tufted mound. Cute and sculptural and a great underplanting for specimens you really want to highlight.

A star of the Winter garden, Phlomis russeliana is an attention-getter year-round but really shines in the skeletal cold. Combine with grasses for that dreamy Piet Oudolf meadow look.
