Some exciting stuff in stock currently (or currantly🍒)... this yellow beauty is Eriogonum umbellatum v. polyanthemum 'Shasta Sulfur', a lovely selection of the sulfur buckwheat which is dense and mounding. This makes it a real presence in the yard and actually pretty tidy looking!

Next is Arctostaphylos edmundsii 'Bert Johnson', which is a dense and fine textured form of the bronze mat manzanita- a native of Monterey County and a great low-growing option.

Third is Ribes malvaceum 'Dancing Tassels' which just won't quit! A really stunning selection from San Clemente Island introduced by RSABG.

Lastly, the 'James Roof' Garrya elliptica is also still blooming! So pretty!

Salvia 'Dara's Choice' is revving its engines and churning out some gorgeous flowers.

Soap roots are jumping up from their winter dormancy! This is their third year of life.

Arctostaphylos 'Dr. Hurd' enchants us with snow white flowers.

Mimulus 'Jelly Bean Dark Pink' begins to strut her stuff.

Dark-eyed juncos are all over the greenhouse- hopping and chirping and protecting their territory.

Can you believe we're already past January's halfway mark? Insane. Some of our Ceanothus are starting to bloom so it really feels like the new year is underway! If you want to plant Ceanothus or manzanita this year, now is really the time to do it. If you wait until spring your plants may struggle to get established before hot weather comes, and then your chance of success really goes down.

1- Ceanothus maritimus 'Valley Violet'
2- Ceanothus 'Far Horizons'
3- Ceanothus maritimus 'Frosty Dawn'
4- Ceanothus 'Julia Phelps'
5- Ceanothus maritimus 'Popcorn'

Ribes malvaceum 'Dancing Tassels' is a truly amazing 6' shrub that is COVERED in long pendulous flower clusters at this time of year. The pictures I take never do it justice... it's a selection made by the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden from San Clemente Island. A really stunning plant if you have the room and need something showy in the winter months.

New blooms!

1-The 'James Roof' silk tassels have opened up this week and are shivering in the wind.

2-A few Ceanothus are starting to bloom as well. Here is Ceanothus maritimus 'Frosty Dawn', with a wonderful delicate blurple flower.

3- Here is Ceanothus thyrsiflorus 'El Dorado', an interesting, variegated selection of blue blossom with powdery blue flowers and mottled lime green leaves.

Now is the perfect time to get planting- even if it is a bit cold out.

Happy New Year everybody! Grateful for another trip around the sun, as stressful as it may have been! The 'James Roof' silk tassel (Garrya elliptica) is greeting us, as it does faithfully each January. The graceful unfurling of silvery catkins brings a delicate and restrained beauty to this cold and cloudy month. The end of the holidays... is it depressing or relieving? With this view, it feels a bit brighter! Will report back when the flowers finally emerge.

Hi All, tomorrow, Friday the 19th is the last day we'll be open before Christmas! We close early at 12pm for our staff holiday party but would love to help you out in the morning! We'll be back in the nursery on Saturday the 27th. If you need a gift certificate, please feel free to email us at [email protected], we can mail them out even though the nursery isn't open.

I think every year I post Arctostaphylos 'Austin Griffiths' because it's just so incredibly stunning when it starts to bloom. It's a cross between A. manzanita 'Dr. Hurd' and A. densiflora 'Sentinel' and it is really just amazingly floriferous. She's an icon, she's a legend, and she IS the moment. We've got it in stock in 5g, 15g, and 24" box.

Tomorrow is our last Saturday open before Christmas! We'll be open until Friday next week but closing at noonish for our holiday staff party. If there's something you have in mind you can email us and we'll hold it for you! Also, we're able to send off gift certificates more or less at any time. [email protected]

Here's what's blooming right now in the greenhouse:

1- Silene laciniata ssp. laciniata
2- Ribes malvaceum 'Montara Rose' (a local selection from Montara Mountain in Pacifica)
3- Ribes malvaceum 'Dancing Tassels' (a RSABG selection made from San Clemente Island it is VERY showy)
4- Arctostaphylos manzanita 'Dr. Hurd' starting to put out white flowers
5- Ceanothus gloriosus v. porrectus- a great little groundcover Ceanothus endemic to Pt. Reyes

Yes, we've got a ton of plants, but did you know we also have many doodads and thingamabobs? If you're looking for holiday gifts for yourself or others, we've got a great selection of stuff for both inside and outside. We also do gift certificates! Email [email protected] for any amount in increments of $50.
