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.

    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?

    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.
