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.

Wouldn't buy anything again

I ordered two plants soursop and olive. They arrived quickly. I also bought soursop from another company. Planted them in the same soil watered the same. The other companies sour sop is doing far better and was cheaper!
