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.

Brighten shady corners with the classic, luminous variegation of Silver Queen. This beloved, reliable shrub is adorned with elegant green leaves broadly edged in creamy white, creating a bright, cheerful effect in the landscape. Its compact, upright habit makes it perfect for adding light to foundation plantings, mixed borders, or as a standalone specimen. Tough, easy-care, and more sun-tolerant than many variegated plants, it provides year-round visual interest with minimal fuss, earning its status as one of the finest and most trusted variegated shrubs.

Classic Cream & Green Variegation: Features medium-sized, glossy leaves with a bold, creamy-white margin surrounding a green center.
Compact, Rounded Form: Grows slowly into a dense, neatly mounded shrub, typically reaching 4-5 feet tall and wide.
Reliable & Tough: An exceptionally hardy and disease-resistant cultivar that tolerates sun, shade, and cold better than many variegated plants.
Four-Season Interest: Provides bright, evergreen color and structure throughout the year; may produce occasional ornamental berries.
Versatile Accent: Ideal as a foundation plant, in mixed borders, or as a low-maintenance focal point to light up darker garden areas.

Knowing how we measure the size?

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.

FAQs

Q: Does it need sun or shade to keep its variegation?
A: It performs best in partial sun to partial shade. In full, hot afternoon sun, the leaves may scorch. In deep shade, the variegation may become less pronounced, and the plant can become leggy.

Q: Is it a fast grower?
A: No, it is a slow to moderate grower. This makes it easy to maintain and ideal for locations where you don't want a plant to quickly outgrow its space.
