Scholls Valley Native Nursery is excited to announce the availability of our bulk native bulbs and our native bulb planting guide. Native flowering bulbs of the Willamette Valley offer not only benefits for pollinators but an opportunity to paint the landscape with broad swaths of color while at the same time limiting the need for supplemental summer watering.

There are infinite ways to incorporate prairie bulbs into restoration and traditional landscapes by adjusting patch size and bulb density. On large sites, practitioners can now reintroduce these rare lilies for as little as $100 to $200 per acre. For intensive landscaping, our new bulk bulb pricing makes gorgeous native lilies a logical choice for beautiful spring borders that support bees and butterflies, at a cost that is competitive with crocuses, tulips and other traditional fall bulbs.

Because native bulbs spend the winter developing roots before sending up their flower stalks in the spring and summer, these bulbs benefit from being planted in the fall. For that reason, we will have these bulbs available for a limited time only.

See our guide to easily incorporating native bulbs into any landscape project or prairie restoration here.

For almost 20 years, Scholls Valley Native Nursery has been growing native plants adapted to our region, and our range of offerings is among the most diverse in the industry. If you need 15,000 bare-root swamp rose, 1,000 1-gallon tall Oregon grape or 10,000 camas bulbs, we can help you out. There are also dozens of species that can add greatly to the diversity of a restoration site but that we do not regularly grow in large numbers. Most of the species we will be offering as contract grow-outs are still available this winter. However, in future years, these species are likely to only be available as contract grow-outs. With enough advance notice, we would be happy to grow these less-common plants for your projects. For bare-root herbaceous species, we have a 1,000-plant minimum, and for bare-root trees and shrubs, the minimum is 3,000 or 5,000, depending on the species.

Because we hand collect the seeds for the majority of the plants we grow (and purchase what we don’t collect ourselves), we will need to have a grow-out contract in place a year or more in advance in order to provide sufficient time to get seeds planted. Please take a look at the list of species we can grow out on contract, and let us know if you would like us to get growing for your future projects.
