Special plants from a specialized nursery
Coolplants is the online nursery of Alpenplantenkwekerij Cathy Portier in Bruges. For more than 40 years we have been growing and collecting special perennials, rock plants, bulbs and tubers, low-growing shrubs and botanical rarities for garden enthusiasts and plant collectors.
We put the spotlight on plants that have something extra: strong garden value, character, rarity, ornamental value or simply that one detail that makes them unforgettable.
