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.

The Variegated Bower Vine combines the reliable flowering of the species with stunning ornamental foliage. Its glossy leaves are elegantly edged in cream and white, providing year-round interest even when not in bloom. From spring through fall, it produces clusters of white trumpets blushed with pink at the throat, creating a lovely contrast against the variegated leaves. It shares the same well-behaved, container-suitable habit as its sibling, making it a top-tier choice for adding light and color to patios and gardens.

Ornamental Variegated Foliage: Features attractive, glossy green leaves with irregular creamy-white margins, brightening the vine throughout the year.
Charming Bicolor Blooms: Produces clusters of white, trumpet-shaped flowers with a soft pink to rosy throat, complementing the foliage beautifully.
Long Blooming Period: Flowers reliably from spring through fall, especially in warm climates.
Ideal for Containers & Small Spaces: Like 'Alba', its growth is manageable, making it perfect for large pots, patio trellises, or smaller gardens where space is limited.
Adds Light to Shady Spots: The variegated leaves help illuminate partially shaded areas where it can be grown.

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: Does the variegation fade in sun or shade?
A: The variegation is generally stable. It performs well in partial shade to full sun. In very hot, full sun, the white edges may occasionally scorch. Bright, filtered light often produces the best leaf color.

Q: How do I care for it in a container?
A: Use a high-quality, well-draining potting mix. Ensure the pot has excellent drainage holes. Water regularly but allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring.
