Bay Area–Based Nursery

We specialize in plants grown and delivered in their original pots and soil.
Because of their size and weight, our plants are not suitable for long-distance shipping and are delivered locally to ensure health and quality.

While delivery is limited to our local service area, we’re happy to support garden design and plant selection remotely.

For local plant professionals, we’re always glad to connect and explore ways to support your customers.

Astilbe brings a touch of soft, feathery elegance to the shaded garden with its fluffy plumes of white flowers and lush, fern-like foliage. This compact perennial is a champion for brightening up dim corners, thriving in moist, shady conditions where many other flowering plants struggle. Blooming in summer, it offers a long season of airy texture and light, making it an indispensable choice for woodland borders, waterside plantings, and adding delicate structure to cut flower arrangements.

Feathery White Summer Plumes: Produces upright, conical clusters of tiny, delicate white flowers that create a soft, luminous effect in summer.
Lush and Textured Foliage: Features deeply cut, dark green leaves with a soft texture that provides attractive ground cover even when not in bloom.
Compact and Clump-Forming Habit: Grows into a neat, rounded mound, typically reaching 14-16 inches in both height and spread, perfect for the front of borders.
Thrives in Shade and Moist Soil: Prefers part to full shade and consistently moist, well-drained soil, making it ideal for challenging shady spots.
Low Maintenance and Winter Hardy: Dies back in winter and re-emerges vigorously in spring; requires minimal care beyond ensuring adequate moisture.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

If you’re unsure which size or form fits your project, our team is happy to help you select the best option based on your space, timeline, and design goals.

Q: Can it tolerate sun?
A: It prefers partial to full shade. In too much direct sun, especially in hot climates, the foliage can scorch and the soil may dry out too quickly, requiring constant watering.

Q: How do I keep it blooming well?
A: The key is consistent moisture. Water regularly during dry spells, and enrich the soil with compost. Dividing overgrown clumps every 3-4 years in spring will also help maintain vigor and flowering.
