The family-owned and operated nursery propagates more than 80 percent of its seedlings, rooted cuttings and grafts from its own stock plants, and root-prunes more than 1,500 acres of nursery stock to help plants establish after relocation. Angelica sells wholesale only, supplying nursery sales yards and landscape projects.
