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

While we call it Mulberry Fuel after our favorite fruiting tree, this fertilizer can really be used on any fruiting plant to ensure its plans come to fruition.

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.
