I'm Retired!

Thank you so much to the clients of San Francisco for entrusting me with your projects for the past 25 plus years. It has truly been an honor to create for you and I can’t say enough how much I appreciated it. To new home owners who are thinking about creating an oasis for your property in this great city, I would be honored for you to browse my portfolio for ideas that you can use on your upcoming project. 

Peace and Love, Paul Tamate

Cape Rush

San Francisco Plant Directory for Landscaping

Chondropetalum Tectorum

This perennial makes a great addition to most landscaping projects in San Francisco. It’s a dramatic addition with great color and stamina.

Where They Do Well

Cape Rush likes full sun or partial shade, and enjoys a good breeze to run through it, making it a good San Francisco landscaping plant. The Cape Rush is one of the most unique plants in that it can tolerate a bog-like appearance, but works well with Mediterranean climate plants.

Maintenance

They do require regular to ample water, but is tolerant of drought conditions after its new growth is complete. It’s good to trim out old growth all the way to the ground, once you see new shoots starting to appear. It also performs well when grown at seaside locations and requires little watering on occasion as long you have good drainage!
