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.

Pink Breath of Heaven is a graceful, fine-textured evergreen shrub valued for its delicate, needle-like aromatic foliage and profusion of dainty pink flowers. Its arching, wispy branches are covered in tiny, bright green leaves that release a pleasant, clean scent when brushed. From late winter through spring, it is adorned with countless small, star-shaped, light pink blooms that give the plant a soft, hazy appearance. Exceptionally drought-tolerant, salt-resistant, and low-maintenance, it is an ideal choice for adding airy texture and color to water-wise gardens, coastal landscapes, or informal hedges.

Airy, Fine-Textured Form: Features wispy, arching branches covered in tiny, aromatic, needle-like leaves, creating a soft, fountain-like effect.
Prolific Winter-Spring Bloom: Produces masses of delicate, star-shaped, light pink flowers from late winter into spring, often with sporadic rebloom.
Exceptional Drought & Coastal Tolerance: Thrives in hot, dry, and sunny conditions once established and is highly resistant to salt spray and wind.
Low Maintenance & Deer Resistant: Requires minimal water, no fertilizer, and is generally pest and deer free. Light pruning after flowering maintains shape.
Versatile Landscape Use: Perfect for water-wise borders, rock gardens, informal hedges, seaside plantings, or as a specimen for its unique texture.

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: When and how should it be pruned?
A: Prune lightly immediately after the main spring flowering period. This helps maintain a dense, compact shape and encourages fresh growth. Avoid heavy pruning into old wood.

Q: What are its soil requirements?
A: It demands excellent drainage. It thrives in sandy, gritty, or rocky soils and is ideal for slopes. In heavier soils, amend with plenty of coarse material (like pumice or gravel) to prevent root rot. Avoid overly rich or moist conditions.
