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.

Marjorie Channon Kohuhu is a classic variegated shrub prized for its elegant, cream-edged foliage and graceful, upright habit. Each pale green leaf is neatly outlined in a band of creamy white, creating a luminous effect that brightens shady areas. In early summer, it adds a delightful fragrance with honey-scented, dark flowers. Growing into a large, dense shrub, it serves beautifully as a sophisticated specimen, a light-reflecting informal screen, or a stunning backdrop for flowering plants.

Elegant Variegated Foliage: Features pale green leaves with a consistent, creamy-white margin, offering year-round brightness.
Light & Airy Appearance: The variegation gives the plant a luminous, reflective quality that stands out, especially in partial shade.
Sweetly Scented Summer Flowers: Blooms in early summer with dark purple, honey-fragranced flowers.
Large, Dense Shrub: Matures into a substantial, upright, densely branched shrub reaching 8-10 feet tall and wide.
Versatile Landscape Accent: Perfect as a standalone specimen, light-filtering screen, or tall background plant in mixed 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: Does it need special care to maintain its variegation?
A: It is stable, but prune out any rare reversions to solid green shoots immediately to maintain the plant's character. It performs best in partial sun; too much deep shade can reduce variegation intensity.

Q: Is it slower growing than solid green varieties?
A: Typically, yes. Variegated plants often have slightly slower growth rates than their all-green counterparts, as they produce less chlorophyll. This can make them easier to manage in the long term.
