I am so excited about the new garden. Athena & Evan just delivered over 100 plants. They were super helpful in assisting me in labeling all the plants so I can put them where they go, thanks to the amazing design by Jared. From initial consult to delivery, we are so happy. Thank you to the team at Wilcox! read more

Great selection of native Florida plants. Displays are well done and all plants labeled clearly which really helps when you have no clue! Helpful staff if you have questions. Different sizes also if you're wary of spending a lot. I like to start small and see what happens. read more

We are so pleased with the backyard transformation that Paul and his team of designers at Wilcox completed. They were extremely knowledgeable, They helped recommend plants that are not only beautiful but also FL friendly. The communication, and follow up was 10/10 throughout the entire process. Paul also recommended vendors to help us complete a few other items to compliment the new landscaping. Final installation was right before Hurricane Helene and we are happy to report no damage to plants. Another positive aspect was Paul and his team quickly edited our plan to keep us within budget. Looking forward to redesigning our front yard in the near future. read more

This is our second project with Wilcox Nursery and once again we are very pleased. Working closely with us, landscape architect Paul Meyers created a design for our back yard which turned the space into a mini-botanical garden. Using only native plants, he designed a lush and beautiful back yard for us to enjoy. We live on a barrier island and sadly our home was severely damaged by the flood caused by hurricane Helene. As soon as we were able to have our backyard fence rebuilt, we called Paul who came right out and created a new design for the renovation of our back and front yard. The plants were installed in a timely fashion, and we are very pleased with the results. Thanks to Paul Meyers for the designs, and to Gavin and Pablo for instillation of the irrigation system and the plants. Our initial design included custom made pavers and grow boxes which were designed and installed by Raul de la Garza; the pavers and grow boxes survived the flood caused by hurricane Helene. read more

A great, long term Bay Area landscape company that actually cares about the environment. A young team at the top of their game.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, fair prices, and a wonderful selection of native Florida plants. One of the only nurseries that has pond plants! Highly recommend. read more

Everything I've gotten from them has thrived. I love that their plants are native, a great variety very healthy. read more

Do not use this Nursery they have a bunch of young kids who have barely any understanding of what they're doing the plants were stuck way too close together several of the supposedly native Florida plants died and I was required to hire them for maintenance with a guy who looked to me like he was a meth head I spent way too much money and got a complete mess stay away from these guys read more

We stopped by to see what sort of trees they might have. We weren't satisfied by what the "big box" stores had to offer. We didn't want another fruit tree. Wilcox had a pretty good selection of oaks, maples, magnolias and more. We decided on a couple of Red Maples in the 7 gallon containers size. We also wanted them delivered and planted which was available for an extra fee. Upon purchase, Wilcox contacted local authorities (811) to come out to my home to verify where the cable and water lines were. The lines were then marked and flagged, accordingly. We scheduled a time for them to come out to plant the trees. They arrived on time and finished the planting process in about 45 minutes. I couldn't be happier with the end result. Start to finish, the whole process took about a week and a half. Adam and everyone that we dealt with at Wilcox was friendly and very knowledgeable about local trees and vegetation. I can definitely recommend them if you want to buy local plants and trees. read more

Love this nursery for its native plant selection. It's not huge but they do have alot of variety. Their store sells seeds and soil and things needed to make it grow! They also have an herb and small veggie starts selection for now in fall. Wish they had more veggie starts but hopefully they'll take this feedback. So the magic question about if I'd go back would be definitely yes. Especially if you're looking to improve your florida native landscaping or make small eco friendly improvements. First learned about this place from YouTuber Jacqueline from The Wild Floridian. Great videos and recommendations too! read more

Knowledgeable folks and very hard working installers. Highly recommend. Always helpful. read more

Best place for native plants in the county. Huge variety of native wildflowers to build a butterfly garden. The staff are a great resource to help figure out what would work best for a very sunny, very dry yard without irrigation. Dog friendly, even have a water bowl inside for them. read more

Wilcox Nursery and Landscape My first time there while visiting and helping my son with a house. I was there to purchase 30 bales of pine straw. So they loaded truck with straw. When I got home and started laying the straw! It was worst pine straw I have ever put down. Full of sticks,debris and MOLD! The color was dirty brown no red in it whatsoever ever! Trash pine straw is what I call it because it had obviously been there for a very very long time! I had to leave the next day, so they're really wasn't anything I could do about it at that point! note to self... pass on straw that's been loaded first in a semi!!! read more

What happened to Wilcox nursery? Grumpy Old Men! Over the last 5 years I have bought many plants to create a more native and sustainable environment in my garden. All of these plants have been purchased from Wilcox nursery. When I first started purchasing plants there there were many knowledgeable and helpful staff who would help me select the right plants for the right place in the garden. Not only were the staff interested in selling plants to create a more natural environment but they seemed to care about me as a customer. More recently, I have been to Wilcox to purchase plants to be confronted by grumpy men who are not willing to even acknowledge me as a customer. They won't even get off their butt's when people walk into the store. And they are not willing to provide any advice or helpful support. It's sad to see businesses being like this to their customers. I will be going somewhere else from now on. read more

We had Wilcox Nursery & Landscape landscaped our backyard flowerbed with timbers, plants, and mulch. Kiamesha Ray, her husband, and their crew did a fantastic job and were communicating the entire time to make sure we were happy as the work progressed. Couldn't ask for a better experience. read more

Such a pleasant experience from start to finish. Called yesterday for a planter with assorted butterfly bushes for my In-Laws and Wilcox did not disappoint. I will definitely be using them in the near future. read more

I'm looking to xeriscape my front yard. This is the best place to do it. They carry an array of native plants and they even have a affordable designer that can come, design the front yard and their store is capable of any size job. Big or small. They can remove large trees if needed as well. Making this a true one stop shop read more

Wilcox Nursery and Landscape - So many native plants found here - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Largo, Florida

Wilcox is great for native plants. They also have other things like flower pots that would make great gifts. They deliver too. I like getting pine straw for ground cover that you can't get other places. read more

What a wonderful hidden gem. They offer mative plants, annuals, perennials and tropicals in addition to superior customer service. They gave us good insight on what would grow best where. We ended up purchasing all of our landscaping plants, shrubs and trees from them and found them to be competitively priced. Buy local :-) read more

It is coming up on three years after we hired Wilcox and their contractors to design and install a major architectural/landscaping project at our home in old Northeast St. Petersburg. The plant selection and design was so bad that over the past two years we have removed or relocated the vast majority of the plants that were recommended and installed. Quite frankly, the only plant/design ideas that have proven to be good, were the ones my wife and I insisted on. As such, our yard is starting to look quite lovely now and we have had dozens of people asking whether we used a landscaping company. I tell them we originally hired Wilcox then detail the reasons why they should go elsewhere. Given the large amount of money we spent on this project we expected more. More design talent, more plant knowledge and more professionalism in the overall planning, organization, execution and follow up (to date we have never received a follow up call, text or email). If anyone is interested in the details of why you should find a different landscaping company for your project please feel free to text, call or email me.

Second time here prices are good, but small selection as to what we get. Still would go back here the plants will grow and yes they are guaranteed. read more

I have been here previously. Although it isn't exclusively Florida native plants, it has one of the best selections of natives in the area. Last time I bought six Sand Pines and some flowering plants, and they have all done well. I don't expect them to have the more uncommon plants all the time, but they seem to be able to get them in regularly. This trip they had Florida Yews. The staff was very courteous There are a lot of good nurseries around with a larger overall selection of common landscape plants, but the quality and selection of Florida native plants at Wilcox sets them apart! read more

Best Nursery for "Native" plants. Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. I love the videos sharing ideas and suggestions on landscaping and plant care. The plants I purchased were healthy and are off to a great start. read more

These guys are amazing! They truly want you to have the best garden you can. During quarantine, they delivered for free and were a pleasure to see each time. I am happy to give them my continued business, even after moving to Clearwater! It's easy to pick up your orders, too! read more

Complete Transformation! That describes the dramatic difference in my yard after the design and landscaping prepared by Wilcox Nursery and Landscape was completed. The landscape plantings, hardscape, and pathways work together to present an exterior environment that appears to have been here since my cottage was constructed. By that I mean that it is comprised of native plantings with pine needle mulch, crushed shell pathways, and a ribbon driveway - very similar to what would have been used in 1925. I work from home with my windows facing the street. I have seen numerous people stop and look at the landscaping. More than one person has said, "Wow!" My landscape architect was Paul Meyers. He met all subcontractors prior to installation to ensure that they understood the design, and was on-site continually during the installation. I should also mention that Paul is genuinely a nice person to work with. A number of my neighbors have hired Paul based on the great results on my property. Do not hesitate to hire Paul or to use Wilcox Nursery and Landscape if you want to achieve a superior landscape design utilizing native plantings. read more

I went in there looking for a hibiscus trees that can grow 10 to 15 feet high I ordered probably 25 of them. They came over planted them in the ground not only did they do a crappy job of planting them they sold me bushes out of the 25 plants that I requested to purchase seven of them are bushes not even 6 feet high what a dope move on their part I would never shop there again read more

Found the nursery to be well stocked with hard to find natives. Staff was very helpful.

If you want a beautiful landscape, Wilcox Nursery is THE place to go. Paul is a very talented designer. He incorporated my desire for Florida native, deer and disease resistant plants with existing elements to come up with a plan. His suggestions were spot on, taking into account things that had escaped my notice. I also appreciated the one stop shopping to bring in irrigation and paver experts to support the design. Our yard has become a garden oasis and an absolute godsend during the safer at home restrictions. We love sitting on our back porch enjoying our little bit of paradise. I am so glad the Master Gardeners recommended Wilcox Nursery to me. read more

When we re-did the landscaping at out home done last yr out lawn guy sent us here for trees, shrubs and a few fruit trees. They are all still flourishing as we speak. Also love our fig trees! Best decision made! Really good personal experience. Would recommend to all. read more

The best native plant nursery in Tampa Bay and Bruce Wilcox, the owner, is a gentle genius! They also do an amazing job with landscaping.

These guys were great! I called they were helpful. I went to see them and they were helpful/ They took their time and answered al my questions. They have a nice variety of plants. The prices are a lot more than Walmart but all the plants look very healthy. read more

My experience was the opposite of the one-star ratings. The guy offered to help me instead of me asking for help. He asked a lot of questions about soil, sun, shade, water availability, etc so that he could recommend the perfect plants for pots in our backyard. read more

Great Native Nursery!!!! My Designer was very knowledgeable. Very helpful staff. You could tell they have the same passion i do about our environment. Not sure about the other reviews but all i know is everyone has a bad day here and there. And that goes both ways (us and them) I will definitely recommend to everyone i know and meet looking for this type of service or native plants!!! Keep up the great work guys. read more

Won't ever go in there again! The one time I ordered flowers they were delivered to wrong address. I visited the shop once in 2010 and the clerk was condescending. read more

I have been trying to work on my butterfly garden, but as a novice I had some failures and I wasn't attracting as many butterflies/ species as I had hoped. I had shopped at lowes/ home depot but they only stock a couple of butterfly host plants. I really wanted a passion vine (host to Gulf Fritillary, Zebra Longwing). The places I had gone, like I said, never stocked these. I called Wilcox and was so excited when the employee gave me detailed info about the species, sizes, and price of what they had available. My boyfriend and I drove over and Louie immediately asked us if we needed help. Wow, if you are interested in starting a butterfly garden, this is the guy to talk to! He has so much knowledge and promptly pointed out multiple plants, telling us all of the details about the butterflies they attract! After helping us another nice woman asked if we needed help. Everyone was so friendly! I left feeling extremely confident in how to care for my new plants. They also gave my boyfriend a recommendation for an experienced arborist to help prepare our huge oak trees for hurricane season. Thanks Wilcox! read more

I found the staff at Wilcox nursery very rude and obnoxious. They are extremely overpriced. I would recommend you never waist your time by going there. We bought a house very close to their location. I was excited to use them for all our gardening needs. Needless to say, I will never go there again. To bad I can't rate them a zero!! read more

Terrible service ... Would not entertain an order for my father's funeral b/c they were only "handling" Mother's day orders. Rude and incredibly gruff ... Never again ! Only gave a star b/c I have to ! read more

Have used Wilcox for several years, personally and for commercial installation...have always found the selection to be varied and robust. Helpful staff and gracious owner, also this group has been an educational asset to the community regarding the use of native plant species. read more

I recently called from out of state to request assistance creating a native potted plant as a gift for a friend. They were extremely helpful and courteous; created a beautiful, professional planter of native plants, and delivered for me in Largo all within my budget and time constraints. I really appreciated their help with such as unusual request. I am only disappointed I wasn't able to see it in person. read more

This is the absolute best nursery in the Tampa Bay area. If you want an eco-friendly garden or a bird- and butterfly-friendly garden, you have to go with native plants - and this nursery has tons of natives in stock. They are also extremely knowledgable and friendly. They can take you around and show you all sorts of cool native plants - for example, the plants you need to attract and keep certain butterflies, plants that produce edible berries (for humans and birds), plants that are good additions to rain gardens, etc. You can also hire them to design and implement your garden or landscape. Jason Beck just did my entire front lawn in natives, and I could not be happier with the results. If you are anywhere in Tampa Bay, it is worth it to drive out to Wilcox. read more
