4.7 Store Rating

It's no surprise that Queen Victoria offered riches in exchange for anyone who could bring her a Mangosteen. Known as the queen of fruits, African Imbe Mangosteens are creamy, antioxidant-rich, and truly hard to come by. Hailing from East Africa, African Imbe Mangosteen produces small, golden-yellow fruits with creamy, pale flesh offering a subtle sweetness and custard-like texture. You won't find Mangosteens in your grocery store since they aren't produced commercially. So grow them at home if you are seeking a rare, specialized fruit for your garden. 

Our African Imbe Mangosteen comes in a Premium 3/4-QT. pot which gives you a nice head start on planting.

Introducing Premium & Supreme plants

We're expanding our product lineup with plants that need more space than our classic 2/3-cup pot allows.

Premium Plants come in a 3/4-quart pot and Supreme Plants come in a 3/4-gallon pot.

New Premium & Supreme Plants will release each Friday.

Your plants are packed with the utmost care, but shipping can be stressful on the little guys.

We sell baby plants

Wellspring Gardens is the starter plant, AKA “baby plant” shop. We just get you started, so you get all the credit for raising your plants under your green thumb.

How tall are baby plants?

We aim to ship your plants when they’re 3-8” tall, though we often ship them taller than that.

What determines whether I get a 3-, 6-, or even 18-inch-tall plant?

The exact size of the plant we send you is variable on the time of year and how long we've been growing it out.
