Region profile

British Columbia Coastal

Mild, wet winters and long growing seasons support evergreen forests and coastal meadows.

Regional focus

Coastal regions benefit from long bloom windows. Prioritize plants that handle moisture and provide continuous flowers from spring through fall.

Planting guidance

  • Use shrubs like nootka rose for structure and early blooms.
  • Add late-season asters for fall nectar.
  • Avoid soil compaction in rainy months to protect ground-nesting bees.
