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.

Yuletide Camellia is a festive holiday classic, blooming right in time for Christmas with vibrant, single, scarlet-red flowers that contrast brilliantly with their prominent golden-yellow stamens. It has a dense, upright, and compact growth habit. This award-winning Sasanqua is incredibly popular for adding a burst of cheerful red color to the winter garden and is excellent for containers, low hedges, or as a specimen.
