Citrus × meyeri

Improved Meyer Lemon

Patio citrus with main-character energy.

Lemons you can reach from the couch. Sweeter and thinner-skinned than grocery lemons, with flowers that perfume the whole patio. Grown on dwarfing rootstock so it stays pot-sized.

Lavandula × intermedia

Lavender 'Phenomenal'

Handles humidity better than most of us.

Provence, but make it practical. Most lavender sulks in humid summers. 'Phenomenal' was selected because it doesn't, which is why we stock it instead of the prettier-on-paper ones.

Salvia guaranitica

Salvia 'Black and Blue'

Hummingbird bait with a navy-blue edge.

Cobalt flowers, black stems. Deep blue flowers on nearly black calyxes, which is as close to a designer color palette as a plant gets. Hummingbirds treat it like a drive-through.
