begonia Chantilly Lace
Begonia Chantilly Lace is a particularly nice eyelash type of rhizomatous begonia. It is a medium to small plant that grows compactly without difficulty. The markings are very clearly defined.
Begonia 'Erythrophylla' ('Beefsteak')
Common name "beefsteak" or "pond lily", with shiny round green leaves, red underside. Good for a beginner but showy enough for anyone.
begonia luxurians
Begonia luxurians is a species with a shrub habit. It is a large, strong grower with palmlike leaves and white flowers. PLEASE NOTE: We sell small, immature plants- a young luxurians looks quite different from the mature plant pictured here. They will grow into the distinctive luxurians shape.
Coleus Holly's Christmas Frosting
Coleus Holly's Christmas Frosting is a large leaved shade or sun growing plant that is easy to grow inside or out in the summer. The leaves are bright and dark pink in color. This appeared as a sport in our greenhouses.
Honoring 35 years of botanical guardianship.
For over three decades, Taylor Greenhouses has been an eccentric sanctuary of rare botanical wonders, built by the relentless passion and deep horticultural intellect of Deb Kwasneski and her son Mischa.
Today, this living legacy is proudly continued by lead horticulturist Jen Webber—who apprenticed under Deb for nearly a decade—protecting this genetic heritage across 30,000 square feet of commercial greenhouses.
“We don't deal in mass-produced houseplant trends. Every cutting is harvested from our own mother stock, rooted under mist, and individually inspected before it leaves our packing bench.”
