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.

Homestead Hot Pink Verbena brings the same legendary toughness and performance as its purple cousin, but in a vibrant, eye-catching pink hue. It forms a dense, low mat that becomes a continuous sea of bright hot pink flowers from late spring until frost. This heat-loving, drought-defying plant is a pollinator paradise and a problem-solver for covering hot, dry slopes or adding long-lasting, cascading color to containers and garden edges.

Vibrant Hot Pink Flower Carpet: Produces an endless display of intense, hot pink flower clusters that create a bold splash of color for months on end.
Super-Tough and Resilient Performer: Shares the exceptional heat, humidity, and drought tolerance of the 'Homestead' series, thriving where other plants fail.
Fast-Growing Ground Cover and Spiller: Spreads quickly to fill in areas, suppress weeds, and beautifully cascade over edges in landscapes and containers.
Continuous Nectar for Pollinators: Like its purple relative, it is a prolific nectar source, ensuring constant visits from butterflies and bees throughout the growing season.
Low-Maintenance and Long-Blooming: Requires minimal care—no deadheading needed. A hard cutback in midsummer can revitalize the plant if needed.

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
