Garrya elliptica (Coast silk-tassel) is an
evergreen shrub native to the coastal ranges of California and southern
Oregon, south to Los Angeles County. It reaches a height of 7–15 ft.
Garrya elliptica is appealing as an ornamental plant with a neat growing
habit. It is low-maintenance plant that thrives in a range of
locations, but is typically seen growing against a wall, or as a
windbreak in coastal areas.
It is very much sought after for its wavy, leathery leaves and luxuriant
growth, and of course the pretty dangling whitish catkins. Produces
purple berries, small (0.25 - 0.50 inches). Full sun to partial shade,
zones 8 - 10.
This is a rare shrub with a long winded germination process; start seeds in late summer or fall.
Other Names: silk-tassel bush, wavyleaf silktassel, rare shrub, rare seeds, rare ornamental.
