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.

Great looking plant, still happy after a week or so

While I can't the same for all the plants I've received, this one is a real star! They all receive the same treatment, more or less, but this plant never complained about anything, and is happy as can be (I've had a couple cry-babies and one in particular that was not long for this world). I'd highly recommend this one!

Amazing service

The plants look like they weren’t shipped at all very much alive and amazing packaging
