Botanically, vanilla is considered “semi-epiphytic.” This means gardeners can plant it in the ground or grow it as an epiphyte, an air plant. The vine is perennial and can reach a length of over 200 feet. Natural vanilla extract comes from the seed pods of the orchid. These pods are the “vanilla beans.”

Vanilla is native to the Americas, but today the source of this familiar flavor is exotic. Mesoamerican peoples in modern-day Mexico were the first to harvest vanilla. European explorers learned of it by the early 16th century. It became so popular in Europe that merchants tried to grow it in greenhouses. Production soon spread to European colonies in Africa and Asia.

Today, Madagascar and Indonesia produce most of our planet’s vanilla. There, growers cut, cure, and ship the beans around the world. The cost of shipping is part of what makes this edible so expensive. Theft and waste also reduce the amount available. Some vanilla is grown in Hawaii and Puerto Rico but moving production to the continental US would lower the price and make the supply more sustainable.

    FAQs

    When will my plants ship?

    We do our best to ship orders within 7 days of purchase, however, our timelines on shipping do fluctuate throughout the seasons depending on whether its "busy season" or even temperature in your area.

    We spend the time picking the best plants in the greenhouse, inspect them for bugs or disease, and pack them safely for their trip to your home.

    If we need to hold your plant due to low temperature we will communicate with you.

    Do you ship if its cold where I live?

    We recommend you purchase heat pack(s) if your area is experiencing daytime highs below 45 degrees in the next week. If temps are at freezing we will ship as even heat packs can be rendered useless.

    If you have selected UPS Ground shipping it is and the plant may be traveling through colder states to get to you, a heat pack is advised. 2 if larger plant

    Additionally, if you would like your order held to ship at a later date, simply reply to the order confirmation email and let us know for how long you'd like us to hold your order. We do our best to honor every hold request that's made before your plant has already shipped!

    Do you ship internationally?

    Due to plant import regulations and time in transit we only ship within the USA. In very rare cases where requests are made and permits secured can we ship internationally.

    Are you licensed?

    Yes, we are a licensed nursery in the state of Florida.
