Introducing Premium & Supreme plants

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

New Premium & Supreme Plants will release each Friday.

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.

Fig Fuel helps your fruiting figs reach their potential!

Wellspring Gardens' Fig Fuel Fertilizer packs a powerful 20-20-20 formula for robust fig plant growth. When paired with optimal sunlight and water, Fig Fuel will help you raise your fig trees to their full potential.
