Our 2019 Best Sellers
gifts for plant lovers

A new year (and decade!) is almost upon us, and we’re looking back to reflect upon what got our customers excited in 2019. This year has been a big year, too; we started offering nationwide shipping on a selection of our large plants, and have sent these beauties from New York to Alaska and everywhere in between. We’re excited to keep growing in 2020, but for now, the best sellers of 2019!

Silver Evergreen

One of the newer members of the Léon & George family, the Silver Evergreen has been a big hit in 2019. Its unique variegated leaves and ability to survive with next to no light probably have something to do with it!

Monstera deliciosa

The Monstera, a popular plant from the art deco era, has been making a comeback for a few years now, and was within the top five best-selling plants from our collection. The lush, split leaves make it one of the more unique offerings of easy-care indoor plants.

cascading pothos

The OG of houseplants, as easy as they come, plus ultra lush, trailing, and fast-growing, the Cascading Pothos has once again made the list of best-sellers this year.

House of botanicals watering can

We’ve been working on finding the very best watering can out there, and this one has definitely made the cut. What do our customers love about it? It’s the perfect size for indoor plants, has a built-in mister for keeping foliage fresh, and, maybe most importantly, is ultra cute and stylish.

Calathea medallion

The Calathea Medallion was not just a best seller in 2019: it was also, unsurprisingly, the number one plant our customers chose to send as a gift. Who needs flowers when you can give an equally colorful (and much longer lasting) plant?!

Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree

Some things never seem to change, and after years of being the “it” plant, the Fiddle Leaf Fig continues to be on the top of everyone’s wish list. While our extra large version of this beauty is only available in California, customers across the country have finally been able to enjoy getting the adorable bush version shipped straight to their door.

That’s a wrap 2019! And for 2020? Only time will tell! Let us know in the comments what you think the “it” plant will be for next year, and for more green inspiration, head to our website to browse all plants.

We're Outgrowing Our California Roots!
Invest in Léon & George!

Léon & George started as a simple business in our co-founders’ San Francisco homes back in 2017. Their idea was simple: to help people easily get their hands on stylish, top-quality potted plants by delivering them, ready to go, straight to their door.

Fast forward almost three years later, and we’ve expanded to Los Angeles, launched nationwide shipping, and delivered plants to over 10,000 happy customers. But this is just the beginning, and what we’ve realized is that we’ve only just begun to scratch the surface.

Creating a new way to shop for plants

The plant market is dominated by big box retailers with outdated sales methods and a lack of personalized service. From day one, we have seen an opportunity to change that by offering a better experience through and through, from an easy-to-browse website to simple and affordable delivery to our post-purchase plant doctor service. It’s plant shopping for the 21st century, and we are excited to be disrupting this outdated market and growing our offering not just in California, but across the entire United States.

You’re chance to invest

We’re running an equity crowdfunding campaign to catalyze our nationwide expansion, and we’re giving all our early supporters a chance to take part by investing in our campaign. We have big plans to grow, and hope to one day see Léon & George plants in the windows of homes and offices across the country. We hope you’ll join for the ride.

Introducing the Scandinavian Ceramics Collection
Scandinavian ceramic design: now available with our plant & pot sets shipping nationwide!

Scandinavian ceramics have arrived.

What’s clean, airy, minimal… and cozy? Say hello to Scandinavian ceramic design, the newest collection of sleek modern planters for your indoor greenery.

What is Scandinavian design?

Scandinavian Design is a design movement that emerged in the 1950s and flourished throughout the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Sweden, & Norway) around the same time mid-century modern styles were taking hold in the United States.

It’s all in the details: Scandinavian ceramic design is all about form + function.

Marked by simplicity, minimalism, and functionality, Scandinavian design brings to mind bright, airy spaces, muted tones and textures, and natural elements like stone and wood. Other features include furniture pieces with simple and clean lines, the use of white negative space, and, inspired by a deep appreciation for nature, plenty of indoor greenery.

Scandinavian ceramic design for your indoor plants

Given Scandinavian design is so deeply inspired by natural beauty, it is no surprise that this style of ceramic so wonderfully complements indoor plants. Simple, clean lines and soft, neutral colors bring out the best in the foliage of our favorite houseplants, making bright tones pop and deeper shades glow. And when it comes to Scandinavian design, form never compromises function: 100% waterproof and complete with a deep overflow saucer, they are designed for optimal health of your indoor plants.

Shop our Scandinavian ceramic design with free shipping nationwide!

Available in white or gray, to pair with any plant from our collection of medium plant & pot sets. Order online for free nationwide shipping, and bring home a piece of Scandinavian design that will inspire tranquility, upgrade your style, and above all, last a lifetime.
