Here at Flora Grubb Gardens, we like to throw around the phrase “unicorn plant” to describe some magical, unattainable plant that we all want. Lucky for us, our growing team down at Grubb & Nadler Nurseries has been working hard to cultivate a few of these rare unicorns for you—and just in time for the holidays! These exotic rarities make great gifts for your treasured loved ones.

Our DIY Potting Bench is back! Come and make something beautiful for your home or garden.

A dreamy tropical vacation may not be in the cards right now, but there's no shortage of reasons to get away from it all. We're feeling all the lush jungle feels down here at FGG. So many plants that love our Bay Area climate also have a distinctly tropical look.

Ceroxylon quindiuense, the rare Andean wax palm, grows happily here in San Francisco, where the cool humidity (fog!) mimics the climate of the Colombian cloud forest. We have this palm in stock now!
