About Us
Welcome to Island Passions Nursery!
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, bold and definitely different!
Many of our plants outperform similar cultivars found elsewhere.
The flower in this picture is our most popular plant the Mexican Snowball. They bloom continually for six to seven months.
Please see our schedule of island events posted on this site.,
We are BIG on flowers and fragrance.
Angel Trumpets blow away pretty much everything in this regard. These produce waves of MASSIVE flowers from early July to mid October and the fragrance is amazing.
This is a plant that the deer will NEVER eat.
( poisonous to all so a little care is required )
We will have a few available this Sunday June 5th at the Cedar Farmers Market or book an appointment to see us Wednesday June 8th or Thursday June 9th. This will be the last chance to get our plants for 2022.
$35 to $55 each depending on the size.
Only 60 available for 2023
Or maybe you want a fast bold tropical statement!
These are King Kong Cannas.
They will get 7 to 9 feet tall in one season.
7 feet in a pot
9 feet in the ground
These can fill a 10 gallon pot in one season!
Other cannas cannot compete with this one for vigorous growth. These also draw hummingbirds!
Note *These Cannas are disease free. This variety does not seem to be susceptible to the common viruses that are prevalent in almost every other canna available.
We recommend you avoid cannas from the big box stores. They all get their stock from the same suppliers.
$22 each for a two gallon pot.

This is a succulent that grabs attention.
It starts out with larger then softball size heads and quickly grows to twice that size with a ring of smaller heads developing under the original. The polished almost black cherry heads with a lime green center are a joy to watch grow.

Canadian made Palm Trees
Palm trees can have VERY different traits within the species. Ours are grown from seed harvested from the palms pictured above.
The main difference 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 fantastic.
You may find cheaper palms but you will not find better
