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.

Great plants shipped quickly with care.

I was so impressed with Wellspring Gardens. I got my original Gynura procumbens many years from them and it thrived I expect this one to do the same. Both of my salad trees looked great and I expect them to just take off. Both trees were super healthy and didn't appear to need any water ( but please do open your plants up to breathe and give them a little sip of water immediately). The Kiko's Crump looks absolutely delicious andI have always received great healthy plants from Wellspring shipped quickly with care and they have always thrived. I have never received a single bad plant and I have shopped with them for years. Much appreciated and please keep up the good work.appear to need the leaves are gorgeous.
