xo Xera Team
Welcome!
Xera Plants is a retail plant nursery and grower based in Portland, Oregon. Our goal is to inspire gardeners to create diverse, ecologically sound landscapes suited to our climate.
We emphasize the use of low water plants, west coast native plants and plants native to a similar winter wet/summer dry climate as our own. Our staff of horticultural experts is committed to providing friendly, detailed, solution-based customer service. If you have a question we have the answer. After all, we grow every one of our plants and know each one intimately.
We grow ALL of our plants
All of our plants are grown by us at our facility near Sherwood, OR using sustainable growing practices. We do not use neonicotinoid pesticides. We firmly believe in the health and well being of not only our pollinators but gardeners and gardens as well. We are stewards of the environment and we take that very seriously.
We strive to maintain a large and diverse supply of plants and we emphasize those that are adapted to certain biomes. That means we search for and grow plants for such difficult situations as dry shade, blasting hellstrips and many other categories. Remember that not all of our plants are available at the same time. Crops have their own timelines and we do our best to finish them in an efficient and timely manner. A large amount of new plants arrives at the shop each week. Feel free to give us a call and to inquire about any plant that we grow or even plants that you think we should grow. At our shop you will find the best quality, fresh nursery stock that is immediately ready for installation.
We do NOT do mail order. We are just not set up for that kind of business. We may be able to source our plants at other nurseries who do.
We hope you have a wonderful garden season and we cannot wait to see you at the shop!
