About Us
Welcome to Island Passions Nursery!
We have high quality 4 foot tall hybrid palm trees available in 15 gallon pots available for Christmas.
By far the best quality palms available as these are hybrids of two species. These are $200 delivered to your driveway. Use one as your Christmas tree then put it in the yard for that tropical vibe.
Only 40 this size available. Deliveries start November 7th.
Our focus is on the plants that will put the WOW factor into your yard or patio.
Our plants are often described as long blooming, eye catching and definitely different!
We would like to say its all about how we grow them but often its more about genetics.
We choose to grow and sell only select proven cultivars of unusual plants.
Many of the cultivars we offer are not available anywhere else on the island.
All of our plants are Canadian made with the exception of the Holland lily bulbs we purchase from a Canadian wholesaler.
This website also contains important growing and care tips in our blog for many of our plants. Our blog goes beyond the basic information plant tags give you. We are certain it can save you time and money and most importantly help you get the very best show out of your plants.

Canadian made Palm Trees

Canadian made Palm Trees
Palm trees can have very different traits within the species. Ours are grown from seed harvested from high quality BC trees.
The main difference with ours is the fans. The fans are much more rigid than others so they withstand the elements way better and the resulting appearance of the palm is night and day different from others.
Be picky when shopping for palms. You cant make a genetically weak palm great.
We have rare Trachycarpus Wagnerianus hybrid palms available for $125. These have lush dark green fans and they have very rigid fans.
Stunning Rose Lillies

Amazing flowers!
These produce three times the petals and bloom twice as long as normal lilies. These have no pollen.
Their longer bloom time and zero pollen also make them excellent cut flowers.
Rose lilies are an easy dependable show that gets bigger every year.

Passion Flowers
These are the plants that launched our business in 2003.
Often you will find them in areas frequented by tourists as very few plants grow fast and bloom interesting flowers continuously from May to late October.
These are very versatile as we have grown them in half shade all the way up to full sun.
We have the German hybrid double blue called Clear Sky that is an evergreen to -13C.
You will find blue passion vines everywhere but you wont find Clear Sky at any other nursery. Most other passion vines available are not able to handle below -6C despite what their tags say as our winters are too wet. We will also have a few of the purple variety available early in the season.

Everything about these is significantly bigger and better than other callas.
Huge leathery leaves.
Enormous flowers and a subtle fragrance that is simply amazing!
They make absolutely stunning cut flowers if you can find a vase big enough. They last three weeks as a cut flower. You just can't bring them in if you have a cat. For whatever reason cats seem to leave callas alone in the yard but in the house they might eat them and it wont go well for the cat.
The deer never touch this Calla.
Prices vary depending on the size of the plant.

Customers were shocked how big they were.
