The Plant Outpost is a plant nursery in Wilmington, North Carolina. It is listed at 624 S 17th St Unit B, Wilmington, NC 28401, which places it among the local businesses of Wilmington that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.

Garden centers and plant nurseries sell annuals, perennials, shrubs, trees, vegetables and houseplants, along with soil, mulch, fertilizer, pots and tools. Independent nurseries often grow part of their own stock and carry varieties that do well in the local climate, while big-box garden departments compete on price for common plants. Wholesale nurseries and growers sell to landscapers and sometimes to the public at volume prices; tree nurseries sell balled-and-burlapped and container trees and can deliver and plant large specimens. Specialty growers focus on bonsai, cactus and succulents, orchids or native plants, and hydroponics stores sell lights, nutrients and systems for growing indoors.

Hours are published for 7 days a week. On most of those days it is open 11 am–6 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach The Plant Outpost at (910) 769-0983; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions.

Customers rate it 4.9 out of 5 on Google across 102 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded plant nurseries in Wilmington.

Wilmington is in North Carolina, in the Southeast, where summers are long, hot and humid, winters are mild, and afternoon thunderstorms and the hurricane season from June to November can change plans at short notice. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Wilmington follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

The Plant Outpost is absolutely amazing. I live 3.5 hours away and have made multiple trips to buy from them. I’ve been able to even pay an invoice for them to hold a plant for me as I couldn’t make the drive right away. They are amazing!!

Where can I even start? The Plant Outpost is literally one of the shiniest gems of Wilmington, NC. The owners and staff are always so friendly and inviting. Their plants are always pest free and pure perfection. Whenever I’m feeling down, I go to The Plant Outpost for a little pick-me-up. They have common plants, and rare ones too. Their prices are so incredibly reasonable. The owners sometimes have cuttings of their own, rare plants which is an amazing way to boost your own collection for cheaper. Don’t sleep on this one, folks.

My favorite Gem💎 in Wilmington🪴 The Owner is often in the store and a literal dictionary of information! I have gotten some of my favorite plants here and they have THRIVED since day one. (taking over my living room at this point they are so healthy!) This trip I came in for some stake's to put into my Monsteras that was getting a little crazy- I found exactly what I needed and more! Highly recommend going by to see this beautiful store if you’re in the area! Before and after Pictures for reference- can’t wait to watch these babies grow even bigger !☺️

Ok so I will start off with this because I just made the mistake of looking at some of the other reviews before starting mine. I am in shock this place does not have all 5 star reviews because it should. Now on to my review. This store is legit, awesome and the only place in Wilmington I will buy my indoor plants from. I have purchased several plants from here. All of them were and are super healthy. Every time I have shopped at this store everyone that has helped me has been super nice and very knowledgable. There is absolutely no plant in this store “not well taken care of” like I just read in another review. I mean when you come in this store you will be amazed by the selection and the health of the plants. They will tell you everything you need to know about taking care of the plant you buy and they will repot any plant for you. Last time I purchased a plant for my mom and the lady was nice enough to right down the care instructions on a tab that she stuck down in the soil. If you want to buy a new plant or just want to look at some really cool healthy plants this is a must try if regardless if you are visiting or live in the area.

The Plant Outpost is honestly my favorite place to go in Wilmington! Over the last year and a half, I’ve fallen in love with the hobby of caring for houseplants and the majority of my plants are from this shop. I’m located about 35 mins outside of wilmington, so a chain store like Lowes would technically be more convenient, but I would 100% drive to the Plant Outpost for my plant shopping every time because it is such a beautiful and enjoyable place to be! Every plant is healthy and great quality, and Sarah and Kat are always so kind and welcoming. I’ve learned a lot about plants from conversation with staff, as well as the cute and convenient cards they have throughout the shop about plant care. If you are someone who reads reviews before going somewhere and you’re reading this, do not let the few negative reviews hinder you. They could not be further from the truth of what I know to be the normal at this wonderful shop. 💚
