This page highlights a selection of key perennial plants typically available at our GARDENWORKS locations during late winter and early spring. Availability may vary by store, weather, and season. 

Please note: This is not an exhaustive list of all the amazing perennials we carry. Our garden centres receive regular arrivals throughout the season, and in-store selection often extends well beyond what is listed here. 

Regional note: The timing on this page primarily reflects our South Coastal British Columbia locations (Burnaby, Coquitlam, North Vancouver, Vancouver, Victoria, Courtenay, Nanaimo, Oak Bay, and Colwood). Customers shopping at our Penticton (Okanagan) location should follow local in-store guidance, as perennial availability and planting times differ in the Interior.
