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.

Autumn Glory Hebe is a robust and showy cultivar, particularly valued for its extended blooming period that lives up to its name. It features glossy, rounded, deep green leaves on purple-tinged stems. From late summer through autumn, it produces dense, bottlebrush-like spikes of rich violet-purple flowers that are highly attractive to pollinators. Slightly larger and more vigorous than some hebes, it makes an excellent, long-flowering low hedge or colorful specimen in coastal and water-wise gardens.

Profuse Late Season Color: Blooms heavily from late summer through fall, providing vibrant color when many other shrubs have finished.
Dense, Rounded Form: Grows into a substantial, dome-shaped mound of foliage, reaching 2-3 feet tall and wide.
Attracts Pollinators: The nectar-rich flower spikes are a magnet for bees and butterflies in the late season.
Exceptional Coastal Hardiness: One of the toughest hebes, highly resistant to salt spray, wind, and sandy soils.
Low Maintenance Hedge Plant: Can be lightly sheared after flowering to maintain a dense, formal shape for hedges.

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 handle hot, dry inland conditions?
A: Yes, once established it is quite heat and drought tolerant. It performs well in sunny, well-drained locations inland, though it originated as a coastal plant. Ensure it is not in a low-lying, wet area.

Q: Does it need pruning?
A: It benefits from a light trim after the main flowering period to remove spent flower spikes and encourage bushy growth. Avoid cutting into old, bare wood.
