Garden Ready Plants

A great option for jump-starting your garden: plants grown by expert horticulturalists like the ones at Burpee. We take care of your plants until it’s time to put them in the ground. Until then, we nurture them with a focus on developing healthy root systems.

Easy Does It!

Build your gardening skills—and confidence!—with our easy-to-grow favorites. These picks earn high praise from Burpee gardeners, who tell us they see success with them year after year.

Small Space or Room to Grow?

You can create a garden almost anywhere! Short on space or just want to start small? We’ve bred varieties that deliver big yields in compact containers and tight plots. Have plenty of room to spread out? With 50+ square feet, either in the ground or raised beds, you’ll delight your family and friends with homegrown goodness all summer long.

Sun or Shade?

It’s all about finding the perfect match for your plot, so take note of the conditions. Do you get at least six hours of direct sunlight every day? Go for full sun plants. There are so many colors, textures and fragrances to choose from! With about four to six hours of sunlight per day, you’ll want to try effortless shade-tolerant plants that’ll bring beauty to lower-light areas.

Annuals or Perennials

While some seeds return year after year (perennials), others need to be replanted (annuals). We love both types of plants! Perennials’ staying power means they stabilize the soil and become an integral part of the ecosystem. Annuals bring a burst of long-blooming color and allow you to switch up plantings each season.

Get Growing

Gardening brings two awesome ways to grow your green pals: seed starting and direct sow. There’s something truly magical about starting with a seed and watching it go from a seedling to a full-grown plant in all its glory. You’ll be such a proud plant-parent! There’s nothing simpler than sowing seeds exactly where you want the plant to grow. While not all seeds can be direct-sown, some make it easy that way, and they’re great for beginner gardeners as there’s no seed-starting equipment required.

From the Ground Up

To ensure thriving gardens, start with coir as a sustainable substrate for seeds, offering disease resistance and optimal water retention. Transition seedlings to robust plants with our potting mix, providing a continuous three-month nutrient supply and efficient moisture retention. Enhance ground cultivation by adding nutrient-rich compost before each season. Nourish your plants with organic fertilizer blends for healthy roots, vigorous foliage, and abundant blooms.
