We are excited to now feature Annie's Annuals in our gardens! We made a trek up to the bay area last week and came back with lots and lots of Annie's favorite plants - in fact, we have nearly 50 different flats of great annuals and perennials for you to check out! They are GREAT plants - we are way excited about things like black Nasturtiums, all sorts of funky Poppy's and Love in a Puff vines. Come check them out soon - we sold out of ALL of our Annie's at the garden show two weeks ago and don't think these will last very long either!

Lot's and lot's of new plants in!

We're very excited about our little nursery right now: we have a TON of new plants in for you to check out, our gardens look better than ever and we have an all new line of organic fertilizers in stock as well!


Check out some of our new favorites we've posted below, and be sure to stop by and see us, we have even more great plants in our nursery right now!


Rehmannia Elata is one of our favorite new plants - it's common name is 'Chinese Foxglove'. It grows in full sun and would make a great mothers day gift!

Tiarella 'Jeppers Creepers'

You've got to see this plant in person to really appreicate the unique coloring it has in it's foilage. A GREAT addition to your hade garden - dainty little flowers spike up all spring and summer, and it'll spread out nicely with your ferns, hostas and other shade favorites!

This plant also goes into the 'super cool' file! We sold out of them at the recent Spring Garden show at South Coast, but have them back in. A native to Australia, it's a dense, rounded medium size tree or large shrub which grows to 12-20 feet tall. Unique cone-like flower is popular with florists because of its creamy-yellow color, which blooms in summer and fall. The olive-green leaves are deeply lobed with serration and they have a whitish underside. Plant in full sun and enjoy! We have it in five gallon sized containers at the nursery right now!

We absolutely LOVE the foilage of this Clematis. This evergreen vine has pendulous, glossy compound leaflets. Many fragrant white flowers are held on each cluster in the spring. Plant in sun or light shade with moderate water. We have them in both one and five gallon sizes right now!

Ligularia Dentata

We've got two varieties of Ligularia in right now. This plant is way cool - awesome red green foilage with these insane yellow flowers that come late summer. Takes shade to part sun and looks great in both a cottage garden and tropical garden setting. One of our very favorite new plants!

We love this new addition to our garden! It takes full sun, gets to about 6" to 12" tall and about 8" and 12" wide. Comes in lots of different colors - "Mango" is colored much like it's described. We love how it looks in our gardens!

Thanks for stoppin' by!

Our four days at the South Coast Garden Show went great - thanks to everyone that stopped by to say hello and check our what we lugged inside. And lug stuff inside we did - thanks to Arron, Darcy and my mom for helping out over four very long days! But it was worth it - we met all sorts of fellow plant geeks over the weekend, and we hope you all come by and visit us in Orange. We're still cleanin' up from the weekend, but we'll have lots of new stuff in by this weekend!
