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.

Dancing Can Can Cordyline is a luminous and elegant selection that brightens shady corners with its cheerful, variegated foliage. Its long, gracefully arching leaves are a vibrant, glossy green, boldly edged in a bright, creamy yellow. This striking contrast creates a constant, eye-catching display. Forming a neat, fountain-like clump, it adds a touch of tropical sophistication and light to woodland borders, shaded patios, or as a clean-lined houseplant that thrives in bright indoor light.

Cheerful Green & Gold Variegation: Features glossy, deep green leaves with a crisp, bright golden-yellow margin that reflects light and brightens dark areas.
Neat, Clumping Habit: Grows in a dense, upright form with leaves that arch gently at the tips, maintaining a tidy and architectural appearance.
Excellent for Brightening Shade: Performs beautifully in partial to full shade, where its variegation stands out, making it a top choice for illuminating north-facing gardens or shaded courtyards.
Low-Maintenance & Deer Resistant: Requires little care beyond occasional watering during dry spells and is naturally resistant to deer browsing.
Versatile Shade Accent: Ideal for planting under trees, in shaded mixed borders, in decorative containers on a shaded patio, or as a structural indoor plant.

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 any sun?
A: It prefers partial to full shade. In cooler coastal climates, it can handle some gentle morning sun, but in hot inland areas, direct sun will scorch the delicate yellow leaf margins and cause stress.

Q: How fast does it grow?
A: It has a slow to moderate growth rate. Its compact size means it won't quickly outgrow its space, making it a reliable, long-term performer in the landscape or a container.
