The long, arrow-shaped rhizomes of the Arrowroot plant are widely used as a gluten free thickener. The rhizomes are grated, blended with water, and then strained and dried to create a powder. In addition to bolstering the variety in your food forest, Arrowroot is also beautiful and low maintenance if you just want it as part of your landscape, too. But historically, Arrowroot is more well-known for its use as a poultice to help heal wounds from arrows. So whether you're after a unique addition to your kitchen, beautifying your garden, or the novelty of a historic plant used since at least the 1800s, Arrowroot is the plant for you.

Introducing Premium & Supreme plants
We're expanding our product lineup with plants that need more space than our classic starter pot allows.
Premium Plants come in a 1-quart pot and Supreme Plants come in a 1-gallon pot.
New Premium & Supreme Plants will release each Friday.
Shop with confidence
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.
