The 6 best places to buy plants online, according to experts
Apr 14, 2025
I love plant shopping as much as the next gardener — when I’m running errands, I love grabbing a new bloom from my local grocer, plant shop, or even at clothing stores like Uniqlo. However, buying plants online eliminates the need to lug them home on the train or bus (which is usually my dilemma). It also opens you up to plant varieties you may not come across in your local shop, and, like all online shopping, gives you plenty of time to browse and research before making a choice.
If you want to skip the lines without sacrificing plant quality, I asked Julie Bawden-Davis, an expert gardener and the author of multiple gardening books, including Southern California Vegetable Gardening, for online plant shopping guidance. I also gathered a list of online plant retailers to shop, either recommended by Bawden-Davis or NBC Select staff who have used them.

How I picked the best online plant stores
Variety: I only included stores that have a wide variety of options. All of the retailers listed below offer not only houseplants, but outdoor plants, flowers, tools and accessories as well. They’re designed to be one-stop shops for all of your planting needs.
Warranty: Ordering plants from a retailer with a warranty/return policy is really important — it can protect your purchase from issues like damage while in transit or certain plant growth challenges. The warranty policies for the retailers below range from 30 to 90 days.
