Streamside, just south of Deep Bay, sells natives. See http://www.streamsidenativeplants.com/ or

I’ve never been as they have spotty open hours—and likely worse now. Also, there is a place just south of Nanaimo (closed for now :frowning: ) that is run by volunteers I think, that I hear is great. https://www.nalt.bc.ca/1_10_native-plant-nursery.html
I haven’t found a local nursery (Comox Valley) that specializes in natives—hopefully someone else will speak up here. Great question!

Streamside plants - good variety, and good information, grown on site.
Stock is online, and you can phone in an order.
Covid variations may be in place, so phone ahead.

I have purchased lots of good plants at Streamside.
NALT - Nanaimo Area Land Trust- Natural Abundance Native Plant Nursery is a volunteer run nursery, lovely spot, a bit hard to find. Interesting selection when I was there for the first time in March.
Further is Saanich Native Plants I haven’t gone to Saanich,
their website lists and extensive selection Also Fraser’s Thimble Farms on Salt Spring, where I got a some very interesting plants a couple years ago.

Art Knapp sells native plants from time to time, as does Outback. Even though I have not been yet, I think Streamside is the better place to go for selection.
