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.

New Yellow Pacific Coast Iris is a vibrant and cheerful selection that brings a splash of sunny color to the spring shade garden. It forms a compact, evergreen clump of gray-green, grass-like foliage. In mid-spring, it is covered in bright, clear yellow flowers, often with delicate brown or purple veining at the falls. Like its relative 'Canyon Snow', it is bred for improved garden adaptability, tolerating drier summer conditions once established while thriving in the dappled light of woodland settings.

Bright Yellow Spring Blooms: Produces an abundance of cheerful, clear yellow flowers that stand out brilliantly against the foliage and in shady spots.
Compact, Evergreen Foliage: Forms a tidy, low mound of attractive, slender leaves that provide texture throughout the year.
Thrives in Partial to Full Shade: Prefers morning sun or dappled shade, making it ideal for planting under trees or on north-facing slopes.
Drought Tolerant Once Established: After the first year or two, it can survive summer drought with little to no supplemental water.
Perfect for Shady Borders & Rock Gardens: Adds essential early-season color to shaded rockeries, woodland paths, or mixed perennial borders.

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

Q: Can it handle any sun?
A: It prefers light shade, especially in hot climates. Morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal. Too much hot afternoon sun can scorch the leaves and fade the flowers.

Q: How do I care for it after flowering?
A: After blooming, you can cut off the spent flower stems. Leave the foliage to photosynthesize and build energy for next year's blooms. The clump can be left undisturbed for many years.
