Plants

Welcome to our Plants page! Here you’ll find lots of details of many of the plants grown at Gratitude Flowers. Each plant is grown from seed or cutting with care, using sustainable practices. Heights, spacing, and light info are included to help you plan your garden.

We also offer curated collections of plant starts, featuring popular cutting varieties and colors chosen to work well together for bouquets.
