Wednesday Plant Drop
+ Free Shipping
Each Wednesday we drop a new, rarer plant that we've grown out larger than our typical starter plant size. This week, we have 12 Premium Salad Tree Bundles, which includes three different Abelmoschus plants: Kiko's Crump, Chief Kubo and Auntie Lilli's.
We promoted these three salad trees to our Premium Series, which means they're more mature, bigger and salad-eating ready.
The Kiko's Crump South Sea Salad Tree (or Bele Tree) is a lovely, easy-to-grow plant. Cook or serve the leaves fresh. Abelmoschus manihot.
The Chief Kubo's Prize South Sea Salad Tree (Bele Tree) is a tasty substitute for spinach. In addition to the edible leaves, The Chief Kubo grows edible hibiscus-like flowers.
• Average mature height: 6 to 8 feet
• Light: Full to part sun
• Water: Average watering needs
• Zones: 9-11
The 'Auntie Lilli's™' or Lili's South Sea Salad Tree (Bele tree) is easy-to-grow and has edible leaves and edible hibiscus-like flowers. Skip the spinach. Pass the 'Auntie Lilli's™' salad. Scientific name: Abelmoschus manihot
• Average mature height: 6 to 8 feet

Your plants are packed with the utmost care, but shipping can be stressful on the little guys.
That's why you have 30 days from the arrival date to experiment with them. If they don't bounce back, you're eligible for a refund.
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.
We aim to ship your plants when they’re 3-8” tall, though we often ship them taller than that.
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.
