Bay Laurel Garden Center
Bay Laurel Garden Center specializes in California native plants and drought tolerant plants suitable for our area, the northern part of San Luis Obispo County. Browse through our extensive stock of quality plants. We are happy to help you select the ideal varieties for your garden.
The yearly transformation at Bay Laurel Garden Center in Atascadero has been accomplished. Bare-root fruit trees dominate the landscape. It’s amazing how many choices a small town nursery is able to offer. The fact that we ship trees all over the country helps us offer this great diversity. We encourage you to take advantage of the great selection!
Roses are ready to be bagged up and taken home at Bay Laurel Garden Center. We offer the usual types – hybrid teas, floribundas, climbers, shrubs and miniatures. Tree roses are not on the website but we have an excellent selection at the nursery. A relatively new trend with breeders is the old fashioned, multi-petaled form, much like the David Austen roses. Star Roses has introduced the “Romantica” series. As well as being extremely full petaled, most all are very fragrant. Varieties include ‘Ball Gown’, ‘Rouge Royale’, ‘Liv Tyler’, and ‘Yves Piaget’.
Winter bloom – yes! Here’s a short history of the Erysimum. There are several native species, most with small yellow flowers. Then ‘Bowles Mauve’ arrived. This variety with its mauve flowers becomes a bush, growing to 3 or 4 feet and lasting about 5 years. The newest perennial varieties have multi-colored petals – they bloom now! Included are ‘Lemon Glow’, ‘Glow Orange’ and ‘Sunstrong Violet’. Heights vary from 12 to 24″.
