Bloomscape sells dozens of classic and exotic plants in sleek, stylish pots.

Bloomscape plants ship directly from a greenhouse straight to your door. This helps keep your plant healthy and safe on its way to you.

The company also runs an app called Vera by Boomscape that provides plant tips and watering reminders. Bloomscape; bloomscape.com
