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.

Everillo Japanese Sedge is a vibrant, low-maintenance perennial grass that brings a constant splash of luminous, lime-yellow color to the garden. Its fine-textured, arching foliage forms a dense, glowing mound that remains bright and evergreen in mild climates. Thriving in partial to full shade, it is an excellent solution for lighting up dark corners under trees, along shaded pathways, or in container combinations, providing year-round color with virtually no care required.

Luminous Lime-Yellow Foliage: Features bright, chartreuse to lime-yellow, grass-like leaves that maintain their vibrant color throughout the year.
Dense, Mounding Habit: Forms a neat, cascading clump that provides excellent texture and groundcover, effectively suppressing weeds.
Excellent Shade Tolerance: Performs beautifully in partial to full shade, where its bright color acts as a natural garden illuminator.
Low-Maintenance & Evergreen: Requires no pruning or special care. Simply remove any old brown leaves in spring to tidy up.
Versatile for Problem Areas: Ideal for planting under trees, in woodland gardens, as an edging plant, or in shaded patio pots.

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: Will it spread aggressively?
A: No, it is a clump-forming (caespitose) sedge that increases slowly in size. It is not invasive and will not run through your garden. It is easily managed by division every few years if desired.

Q: Can it take any sun?
A: It prefers shade. In cooler climates, it can tolerate morning sun, but in hot areas (like Zone 9a), afternoon shade is essential to prevent the delicate leaves from scorching and turning brown.
