Spring Garden Fair Ornamentals

The flowers and other ornamental plants that we offer at the Spring Garden Fair have been trialed at our research gardens to select varieties that perform particularly well in our climate, with an eye towards ones that are beautiful and long-lasting in flower arrangements. We offer an especially large array of short to tall sunflowers and magnificent zinnias.

Also take a look at our California native plants for additional ornamental plants that are naturally adapted to our climate.

Plants are in 4-packs or 6-packs unless otherwise noted.

Please understand that some varieties may sell out quickly or not be available due to germination difficulties.
