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.

Happy little tree

Looks healthy and happy despite the two leaves that were yellowing when I unpacked it. Just now slowly exposing it to direct sunlight. Excited to see a tiny new leaf coming out.

The plants arrived a little scraggly from shipping (it is HOT here), but as soon as I watered them and let them rest under a covered porch, they leafed out immediately. Thank you!
