This list uses several abbreviations and rating scales. A "CN" in superscript at the left margin, just before the plant name, designates a plant native to
California. The Type heading is used for the general plant category. Gra = grass/grasslike plant, Sdg = Sedge, Ru = Rush, Res = Restio or Restio ally.
Under Comments, "s" or st(s) = stem(s), "l" or "lvs" = leaves, "f" or "fl(s)" = flower(s). The Condition column describes both size and current
blooming/fruiting status. "light" = just-rooted and plantable in the landscape. "Full" = fully rooted, nice plants. "Prime" = exceptional! We strive to
ensure that undersized plants are not listed.
About smaller pot sizes: "Liners", as shown below, are standard rose pots, 2.25 x 3.0", 56 per tray (FULL TRAYS ONLY). "Plugs" are plants in cells
of approximately 1.75" x 2.25", 50 per tray (ALSO FULL TRAYS ONLY). The price for both sizes is $1.25 per unit.
