Plant collections for real PNW gardens
Think of these as shortlists and starting points, not rules. Each collection is powered by the Odd Garden Plant Finder — you can click through, tweak the filters, and swap plants until it feels like your garden.
Low-fuss, wildlife-friendly, water-wise
PNW native plants
Shrubs, trees, perennials, and grasses that actually evolved here. Good for birds and bees, and less likely to sulk about the rain.
Under maples, along fences, north-side beds
Plants for shade & dappled light
Picks for spaces that rarely see direct sun — think hellebores, ferns, forest grasses, and foliage workhorses.
Bees, butterflies, and friends
Pollinator plants
Flower-forward plants that offer nectar and pollen through the seasons. Great for mixing into veggie beds and borders.
