If you've never seen an old-fashioned, back-in-the-day, tractor seat, all you need to do is look at the shape of the Farfugium Gigantea's leaves to know where its nickname stems from. Farfugiums are also known colloquially as Leopard Plants due to some varieties which are spotted. Gigantea is a green variety, known for its giant leaf size (15-18 inches) compared to the typical Farfugium japonicum (8-12 inches). Farfugiums love shade, so you can successfully grow it as a houseplant, too.

Elevate your landscape by growing several types of Tractor Seat Plants in a clump. Farfugium gigantea will give you impressive size, Crispata will give you texture, and Aureomaculata will give your landscape color.

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.

Honeysuckle Fuel brings out the blooms!

Named for our most popular flowering plant, Honeysuckle Fuel can help any flowering plant produce robust blooms.

Its power also extends to fruiting plants. When a plant is ready to start fruiting, use Honeysuckle Fuel to ensure its flowers turn into plump fruits.
