New Premium & Supreme Plants will release each Friday.

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.

Banana Fuel supercharges banana growth

Wellspring Gardens' Banana Fuel Fertilizer is high in potassium, which banana trees need to grow and eventually fruit. When paired with optimal sunlight and water, Banana Fuel will help you raise your banana trees to their full potential.
