Calluna & Erica
Scotch Heather & Heath, respectively, are reliable and hardy small shrubs that are often found planted together in our gardens. Their fine textured foliage can change brilliantly with the season. The small, cheery flowers attract pollinators. Calluna usually blooms in summer through fall. While Erica can bloom from winter through spring, and often in summer! They like good sunshine, and slightly acidic, well-draining soil.
Camellias
It is a pleasure to work with the Nuccio family, and their plants are always top-notch quality. From the stalwart japonicas and sasanquas to the fancy hybrids, their introductions and offerings are a blessing to CA gardeners.
Rhododendrons
For many years, Rhododendrons have been a staple here at the nursery. This year we are offering, perhaps, the largest selection of Rhodies in the Bay Area! You can choose from over 100 hybrids & several rare species, from or friends at Log Cabin Nursery in Springfield, Oregon.
Proteaceae
This large family of plants from the Southern Hemisphere includes Adenanthos, Banksia, Grevillea, Leucadendron, Leucospermum, Protea, and Stenocarpus among many others.
