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.

Eternal Fragrance Daphne is a gardener's dream for bringing intoxicating, season-spanning perfume to the Bay Area garden. Unlike many daphnes that bloom only briefly, this remarkable evergreen shrub produces clusters of small, star-shaped, pure white flowers not just in late winter and early spring, but in recurring flushes all the way through fall. Its sweet, citrusy fragrance can fill an entire patio or drift through an open window. With a neat, rounded habit of glossy green leaves, it’s a compact, aromatic treasure that offers continuous sensory delight with minimal fuss.

• Legendary, Long-Lasting Fragrance: Emits a powerful, sweet perfume from its white flower clusters, with multiple blooming cycles from late winter into autumn.
• Exceptional Reblooming Habit: A breakthrough cultivar known for flowering repeatedly over many months, far exceeding the short bloom time of traditional winter daphnes.
• Compact & Tidy Form: Naturally grows into a dense, rounded mound of deep green, leathery foliage, reaching a manageable 3-4 feet tall and wide.
• Pollinator Friendly & Shade Tolerant: The fragrant blooms attract bees and butterflies. It thrives in partial shade, making it ideal for brightening woodland edges or sheltered courtyards.
• Perfect for Sensory Gardens: Its enduring scent and charming form make it ideal for planting near pathways, patios, or under windows where its perfume can be fully appreciated.

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

Q: Is it easier to grow than other daphnes?
A: Yes, it is widely regarded as more adaptable and forgiving than the notoriously finicky Daphne odora. It shows better tolerance for a wider range of soil conditions, provided drainage is excellent.

Q: What are its critical planting needs?
A: Perfect drainage is non-negotiable. Plant it in a raised bed or mound if you have heavy soil. It prefers morning sun with afternoon shade in our climate and should be watered deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
