I think half the fun of plant shopping is walking around a nursery and falling in love with some new flower that you didn’t know existed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only are you coming home with an extra plant you have to find a spot for, but you’re supporting local businesses in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, sometimes all the local places seem to be carrying the same plants and you just can’t find what you’re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s where the mail order nurseries come in handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But with all of the different plant varieties and beautiful pictures, the online choices can be overwhelming. How do you know what the best online nursery is?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since I’ve been ordering plants online for a long time, I thought I would share my list of the best mail order nurseries that I’ve used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 | Home Depot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Best online nursery for all types of perennials, bushes and trees<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Website<\/strong>: homedepot.com<\/a>*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can see you rolling your eyes now…Home Depot as one of the best online plant nurseries? Really??<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But hear me out before you start thinking I’ve lost my mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Home Depot has a MUCH bigger selection of plants online than they carry in their stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Including many of the new 2025 perennials from Proven Winners and the Southern Living Plant Collection (yes, even the ones you can’t find anywhere else).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the perennials, you can buy pretty much any other kind of plant you can think of from their website — fruit trees, annuals, vegetables, roses, and seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any time I have ordered plants online from them, they arrive within a day or two, they’re very well packaged and in good condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you do have problems with them, you can take them back to any Home Depot store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re not sure exactly what plant you are looking for, their website has filters. These allow you to select what zone you live in as well as some plant characteristics like flower color, evergreen or deciduous leaves, “attracts butterflies” or “deer resistant”. Which makes finding something for your exact growing conditions much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get started, go to this page<\/a>*, click on the circle for your gardening zone and go from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 | Etsy<\/h2>\n\n\n

\"Purple<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Best online selection of small- to medium-sized nurseries that carry specific plants.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Website<\/strong>: etsy.com<\/a>*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know. I know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etsy is another website that doesn’t immediately jump to mind when you think of online nurseries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there are a lot of small- to medium-sized nurseries that sell their plants through Etsy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And many of them have great quality plants (you can always tell by the reviews who they are).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etsy doesn’t work so well if you’re not sure what you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you’re looking for a specific plant, just search for it by name and you’ll probably find someone who sells it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of my favorites are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
