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.

The package arrived in great condition and Wellsprings even sent me a special gift of another color iris. That was much appreciated and unexpected.

I don't think I've ever written a bad etsy review before but I feel I need to let people know what a scam this place is. Buying plants online can be hit or miss, and this place is one of the biggest misses ever. I paid over $40 for a tiny barely rooted twig and the smallest Louisiana iris I have ever seen. I have decades of experience growing plants so I can probably pull these plants through until they are large enough to plant outside, but I will never order from Wellspring Gardens again.
