Many of us Garrya lovers are simply running out of space for the amazing Western native shrub, Garrya buxifolia is the answer to many a small garden's prayers. It's a dwarf silktassel!! It grows much more upright than its relatives and usually caps out at 6 ft T. 

Grows best in full sun or part shade. Our plant is growing happily on one of our dry garden manzanita mounds in full sun. 

We would love more information about its hardiness from anyone who has trialed it at a lower temperature. Our plant is only four years old and behaved so well through our winter storms and some sustained low temperatures. 

Mature size: 5-6 ft T x 4-5 ft W 

Minimum temperature: 10° F

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.
