'Mound San Bruno' is smaller in overall size and leaves than the species, so it's possibly more small-garden friendly. Just like the species, however, it is an excellent addition to a mixed hedge or chaparral planting. The small flowers in early to mid-spring are total bee magnets--seriously there will be masses of bees on these things! Also a food source for the pale swallowtail butterfly larvae. After blooming, fruits first develop yellow in color, then turn fiery red, and then a shiny black. It's a-ok with pruning and also tolerates some summer irrigation (unlike many west-coast natives).

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
