Jicama (pronounced HICK-ah-mah or HEE-kah-mah) has an edible root which has a texture and taste similar to a water chestnut. It's delicious both raw and cooked. Eat jicama with veggie dip, add it to stir fry, or substitute it for potatoes. The possibilities are endless with this versatile vegetable. Jicama is also known as yam bean and Mexican turnip. Jicama is a vining plant. It grows white flowers and green pods. The pods are not edible and are poisonous, so stick with just the root at the dinner table.

Four potted plants in increasing sizes are labeled: Promo (2-4 tall), Classic (3-8 tall), Premium (8-15 tall), and Supreme (8-25 tall), showing plant and pot dimensions for each size.

Introducing Premium & Supreme plants

We're expanding our product lineup with plants that need more space than our classic 2/3-cup pot allows.

Premium Plants come in a 3/4-quart pot and Supreme Plants come in a 3/4-gallon pot.

New Premium & Supreme Plants will release each Friday.

Shop with confidence

Your plants are packed with the utmost care, but shipping can be stressful on the little guys.

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.

Mulberry Fuel: Set it and forget it for 90 days

Apply the granules of this 20-6-9, slow-release formula to the soil surface of your plants and they will slowly feed them over a 90-day period.
