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.

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

Beschorneria yuccoides 'Flamingo Glow' is a striking, evergreen succulent perennial prized for its dramatic, arching foliage and spectacular, hot-pink flower spikes. This clump-forming, yucca-like plant features rosettes of long, sword-shaped, fleshy, gray-green leaves with a distinctive, broad, creamy-yellow to golden-yellow central stripe. In late spring through summer, mature plants produce tall, arching, bright coral-pink to flamingo-pink stems rising 4-6 feet above the foliage, bearing pendulous clusters of tubular, greenish to red flowers that are highly attractive to hummingbirds. The flower bracts open sequentially, starting green and transitioning to pink and red over several weeks, extending the display. Exceptionally drought-tolerant and deer-resistant, it is an outstanding choice for xeriscape gardens, succulent gardens, Mediterranean landscapes, coastal gardens, and as a dramatic specimen in containers.

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.
