Ready to plant

Zanthoxylum piperitum, also known as Sichuan pepper or pepper flower, is an ornamental shrub perfect for both a garden and for growing on a terrace. It is also often used to create beautiful bonsai. Its berries are widely used as a spice in Far Eastern countries, which has given this plant the nicknames Chinese pepper or Japanese pepper. Often used to flavor meat dishes (but not only), the spicy taste of the berries and their light lemon aftertaste will add an original touch to your recipes.

Between April and May it produces small green-yellow inconspicuous flowers, followed by the aromatic berries used as a spice, Sichuan pepper.

It adapts to full sun or partial shade and can be grown both in the garden and in a pot on the terrace. It is very cold-hardy, down to -15 °C, with moderate drought tolerance.

WHAT MAKES OUR PLANTS DIFFERENT

Long anti-spiraling vases

A traditional lawn is a fragile monoculture: it drinks thousands of liters of water every summer, needs mowing every week, and turns yellow as soon as you neglect it. An alternative lawn turns this logic on its head: instead of grasses, we use Mediterranean groundcovers selected in our nursery—low, dense, and hardy plants, born for hot and dry climates.

The result is a green, walkable carpet that blooms for months, withstands drought, salt spray, and frost, and reduces watering and maintenance by 80%. It is not an aesthetic compromise: it is a more beautiful, more vibrant lawn that is more honest with the environment.
