Dear Vicky, et al.,
Watson’s Greenhouse and Nursery in Puyallup has a small area of native woody plants. In Gig Harbor there’s Woodbrook Native Plant Nursery, https://woodbrooknativeplantnursery.com/. Unfortunately most other nurseries don’t have areas set aside for native plants though any good nursery should have someone on staff that can help you find plants that fit your criteria. Also, your criteria for native plants may be different than the person your asking, that is, are you looking for plants that are specifically native to NW WA or will plants from, say, CA but are suitable for the PNW fit your needs. One other thing, if the plants that were hacked back are herbaceous perennials, they will probably sprout up like nothing happened to them. If they are woodies, they may sprout back but it would probably be many years and significant pruning before you get your original specimen back.
