Miramar Wholesale Nurseries - Specialty Plants

As the largest landscape center in Southern California, Miramar Wholesale Nurseries offers one of the most extensive collections of specialty lines, including the Vista Hill Collection, daylilies, and phormium.

We are also proud promoters of The Water Conservation Garden at Cuyamaca College's Nifty 50 plants for California-Friendly Landscapes. Their organization has provided us with both a straightforward list and a designed illustrated brochure.

Each of these lines is derived from the healthiest, most vigorous specimens, and all are grown from start to finish on more than 200 acres at our nursery facilities. On display at many of Southern California’s finest hotels, commercial developments, and residential complexes, these products lend an uncommon touch of color and elegance to any commercial property.

Fifteen exceptional varieties of flowering trees and palms make up this prestigious collection. When Miramar Wholesale Nurseries (MWN) acquired Vista Hill Nursery of Vista, CA, in 1998, it added an important distinction to our product line. Vista Hill is an exclusive selection of flowering trees, and the collection rounds out our already extensive inventory. MWN has perpetuated Vista Hill’s plant materials and integrated these extraordinary trees into our product offering, providing clients an exceptional opportunity to stand out beautifully.

Known as “the perfect perennial,” the daylily provides a low-maintenance yet attractive addition to nearly any landscape. The plants are easy to grow, make an impressive showing, and live practically forever with almost no care. Few plants are as tough, persistent, and pest-free as the charming daylily. And they are even edible!

Miramar Wholesale Nurseries offers the largest selection of daylilies in Southern California, featuring more than 20 eye-catching varieties in everything from deep rose to creamy yellow. Choose from the elegant Russian Rhapsody, with its triangular-shaped blossoms in a deep plum-purple, or the festive lavender of Raspberry Pixie. For impact, choose Lightening Bolt. For a sure bet, select Stella D’Oro, winner of myriad awards. Regardless of which variety you choose, you're certain to be pleased with the performance of this perfect perennial.

With a rainbow of colors and generous selection of heights to choose from, you are certain to find the perfect phormium for your landscape year round. More commonly known as flax, phormium might have been a passing fad of horticulture trendsetters if not for the persistence of science. Thanks to the introduction of new cultivars and hybrids, today’s varieties outshine their pale ancestors. Modern flax features warm hues from creamy white, brilliant red, glimmering gold, to vibrant pink and salmon and more.

Miniature varieties stand less than two feet high, while some spreading uprights soar to eight feet. With more than 20 varieties to choose from at Miramar Wholesale Nurseries, our phormium will add distinctive foliage color and depth to your landscape.
