Welcome
to Suncrest Nurseries Inc. Suncrest is a wholesale nursery situated near
Watsonville, on California's Central Coast. We are devoted to broadening
the gardening experience with a wide variety of plants suitable for outdoor
culture in coastal and near-coastal California. Major categories
include unusual showy trees; evergreen and deciduous flowering shrubs; bamboos;
hardy to subtropical vines; flowering perennials; grasses and grasslike
plants; bulbous, cormous and tuberous perennials, and ferns. We offer a
number of familiar plant selections in high demand. However, our special
focus is on trial and distribution of worthy new plants, and on helping
to revive interest in those which have been unfairly neglected over the
years.
The main body of the site consists of a transcription of A Guide
to Ornamental Plants for Coastal California, our descriptive catalog.
Guide entries are indexed alphabetically by genus. Click “Browse
Plant Descriptions” button to go to the on-line Guide.
The same descriptions can be accessed through the “Plant
Type & Origin” button. The groupings are by broad plant
type, for example, bulbous perennials, or by geographic origin, with special
emphasis on California and other Mediterranean climate areas.
Particular landscaping needs, for example, plants suitable for poolside,
and "problem sites" are addressed in “Groups
with Special Uses.”
