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.

Lindheimer's Beeblossom is a graceful, long-blooming perennial that brings an airy, see-through texture to the summer and fall garden. Its tall, wiry stems are topped with a continuous cloud of small, butterfly-shaped flowers that open white and age to a soft pink, creating a charming two-tone effect. Incredibly resilient to heat, humidity, and drought, this easy-care plant is a must-have for adding movement, delicate color, and pollinator activity to sunny borders, cottage gardens, and naturalistic plantings.

Long-Lasting Clouds of Delicate Blooms: Flowers profusely from early summer well into fall, producing masses of small, four-petaled flowers that open white and fade to rose-pink, attracting swarms of butterflies.
Airy, See-Through Texture: The tall, slender stems and open, branching flower panicles create a light, wispy form that adds movement and layers beautifully in front of other plants.
Extremely Heat and Drought Tolerant: Once established, it thrives in full, baking sun and dry, poor soils with minimal watering, making it a champion of water-wise gardens.
Low-Maintenance and Self-Cleaning: Requires no deadheading; the small flowers drop cleanly. For a tidier appearance and to encourage a late-season flush, a light shearing in mid-summer is optional.
Versatile Garden Performer: Excellent as a mid-border filler, in meadow plantings, or for softening hardscapes. Its delicate appearance belies its tough, adaptable nature.

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 self-seed aggressively?
A: It can self-sow moderately in ideal conditions, but seedlings are usually easy to pull or transplant. Many modern cultivars are bred to be less prolific. To prevent self-seeding, you can trim off the spent flower clusters before they set seed.

Q: How should I prune it to keep it looking good?
A: While not required, you can give the entire plant a light "haircut" in midsummer (cut back by about one-third) if it becomes too tall or floppy. This encourages fresh, bushier growth and a new round of blooms. In late winter or early spring, cut all old stems back to the ground.
