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.

Clarity Blue Flax Lily is a robust and attractive Australian native that offers fine texture, delicate flowers, and ornamental berries. It forms dense tussocks of long, slender, blue-green to grey-green leaves. In spring, it produces airy sprays of small, star-shaped, deep blue flowers on tall, wiry stems, followed by clusters of glossy, violet-blue berries. Extremely tough and drought-tolerant once established, it is a versatile, low-maintenance choice for mass plantings, erosion control, or as a structural accent in water-wise gardens.

Fine Blue-Green Foliage & Blue Berries: Features dense clumps of slender, arching blue-green leaves, followed by attractive, long-lasting violet berries.
Delicate Spring Blue Flowers: Produces tall, branching stems adorned with small, bright blue, star-shaped flowers in spring.
Exceptional Drought & Heat Tolerance: Once established, it thrives with minimal water and tolerates full sun to part shade, even in hot climates.
Tough, Clumping Groundcover: Spreads slowly by rhizomes to form a dense, weed-suppressing mat, excellent for slopes and dry areas.
Low-Maintenance & Wildlife Friendly: Requires no pruning and is generally pest-free. The berries attract birds.

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: Are the berries edible?
A: No, the berries are not edible for humans and should be considered potentially toxic if ingested. They are ornamental and for wildlife only.

Q: How should it be pruned?
A: Minimal pruning is needed. Simply remove old, brown, or damaged leaves at the base to tidy the clump. You can also cut back the entire plant by half in late winter to rejuvenate it.
