The Pacific Northwest is blessed with a very good nursery climate,
and there are many who take advantage.  While I'm sure there are
others, these are a few which spring to my mind:

  grasses, perennials.  They do ship to Calif. & Canada observing
  required restrictions.  Canadians:  when they send a catalog, they
  provide special instructions.
