East Austin Succulents

Awesome place to fulfill all your succulent needs. So much variety and can I mention how cute the cats are that wander at this place ?
Let me praise how nice the employees are at this place! I came here my second time and everyone was so sweet and helpful — you can really tell that they love what they do and are happy to see their plants find homes. I am now an owner of 4 beautiful succulents: D

This place is beautiful. I went there a few days ago to spend some birthday money on turning my house into a tropical California desert paradise, and I was a dollar short. The cashier told me not to worry about it, and even let me spin the wheel for a free succulent! Thanks again! I will be back, and I’ll bring an extra dollar next time.

Beautiful spot, good vibes. Lots of variety and knowledgable folks to talk to.
It’s on Tillery and looks like one place but is actually two different spots side by side. The other spot is more for plants, no succulents. Just as nice

Brought my boyfriend here and he absolutely loved the place! The selection this time was a lot different from what they had last time. Still, the back was full of beauties to choose from!

I’m looking around for a home to buy (Realtors need not apply. I have one.) and that means I’m looking around for landscaping ideas. My thumb is nowhere near green. It’s usually covered in either barbecue sauce or powdered cheese from the ball-​shaped variety of chips… Don’t read into that. So I’m really looking for plants that I can just kind of drop on the ground and let the rain take care of the rest. Thankfully, Unilocal came to the rescue when I saw a friend review East Austin Succulents.
This garden of weird plants is located close to Austin Animal Shelter. So it’s a nice way to have a relaxing and allergy filled Sunday afternoon. Take your Zyrtec before you go! My lady and I spent around 45 minutes taking pictures of all the succulents we like. There is so much to see here. I’ve never been to another succulent farm, but I’d have to assume that this is like the saguaro cactus of them. It’s large and awesome. Even if you’re not in the market for some plants, it’s worth coming to check out. Well priced plant selection aside, there’s a large area in the back (past the bamboo) that you can rent for events. We saw lights around some trees and it definitely looked like a decent venue for nighttime gatherings.
The home market is slow. So it might be a few months, but soon I’ll be heading back to East Austin Succulents to make all of my weird looking plant dreams come true.
Cacti! Agave! Butt shaped plants! Oh my!

Just recently found a hobby in plants, and this place is instantly my favorite. All the employees were very informative, and their prices were great. I’ve shopped around quite a bit, and their succulent section has been the best. Ended up buying a Portulaca molokiniensis, the succulent in their profile picture. Itching to go back next weekend!

A huge variety of succulents in different sizes, all healthy and hardy looking plants. Good prices too.

I recently got super into gardening… and super into succulents. I’ve spent a pretty considerable amount of time wishing I had a sweet succulent collection and East Austin Succulents is helping to make that a reality.
I found this place on my search for a local nursery that would have a wider selection than anything a chain store would have. (Especially lithops. I really, really wanted some lithops.) The first time I went, I browsed and browsed and picked up two things — a lithop and a grafted cactus — but I added several more to my wishlist. After pay day, though, I came back and it felt like I just kept adding and adding plants to my little box. I went home with eight little containers! (And FIVE new lithops!!) I was a super happy camper and now I have a pretty sweet succulent collection.
But, of course, I’m nowhere near done. Now I need to pot them, make arrangements, and collect the other varieties I want. East Austin Succulents can help with all of that! They make their own soil, sell their own pots, and even sell things like top dressing and decorative rocks to make your arrangement super pretty. Need help repotting something or making an arrangement? They can do that! They charge $ 5 to repot something and make it all pretty. I haven’t done it yet, but all the pictures I’ve seen look great and I can’t wait to have them design an arrangement with my creative input.
They have a huge selection of plants in all different shapes and sizes. It’s seriously impressive. It also seems like they are adding stuff all the time because there were different things the second time I went. I suppose they add plants as they grow, which is really cool. (When exploring, you can also see all these containers where they are propagating new little succulents. So cute!) The plants are reasonably priced and the little ones near the front only cost $ 2.50. You really can’t beat the prices or the selection; there are so many plants I’ve never even seen before.
Want to get someone a creative gift or even a little something for yourself? Maybe you’re looking to create a centerpiece or add a flush of color to your home? I couldn’t recommend East Austin Succulents highly enough.

I am saddened I didn’t stop by their new location earlier. HOLY COW! It was always the best game in town for cactus and succulents, but clearly they had plans to be much better than that! And I’d say they’ve achieved it. *Incredible* selection of all sizes and shapes of cactus and succulents. Want a barrel cactus? Did you want one to fit in a tea cup or did you need one as big as your comfy chair? They’ve got it! Really awesome pottery planter to put it in? Vintage tin maybe? Done!
Oh and they’ve got fruit trees and some shrubberies and some other things too! looks like they’ve expanding to be a full on nursery without forgetting what made them who they are.
The grounds are gorgeous. There’s a small pond of bright orange fish that will swim up to say hello. Staff are friendly and welcoming, but they don’t hover (AWESOME) so you can shop, but they’re nearby if you need a hand.
Well done, East Austin Succulents!

Succulents for dayyyys. Rows and rows of the strangest, most curious looking succulents I’ve ever seen in one place. They also sell a variety of unconventional planters like, hollowed out toy dinosaurs, old tin cans, funky 70’s era ephemera, boots, hats, you name it. If you can put dirt in it, they have it. The prices are extremely reasonable for the succulents as well. Love this place!

This place is such a cute place to get plants– mainly succulents and cacti.
I’m not sure the price is the cheapest out there but the pricing isn’t too high. They offer a great variety of succulents available with different sizes– succulents in 2 inch pots to much bigger sizes.
They also have trees, shrubs, garden plants, seeds, and vegetable plants available.
I would definitely come here for all my succulent needs in Austin.

Attention all you pinterest/​Instagram bitches with your odd love of mini plants that are seemingly impossible to kill– THIS PLACE IS FOR YOU! (!!!)
Never buy a boring plant again! Seriously stop that. East Austin succulents has pretty much every type of mini immune-​to-​murder plant you could ever want. So many of them looked like alien beings– it was great! I bought one that looks like green strings of pearls– SO COOL!
Definitely buy some planters and the folks there will pot your new baby unkillable green friends for you, which was good for someone like me who has no idea what I’m doing with these things or plants in general.
Huzzah!

Never seen so many different types of plants with such a great variety in a single place. Not too pricey, cute pots and plants, and great service.

I absolutely love EAS! My husband took me here on Valentine’s Day and we were amazed. So many cool looking succulents and the cactus are really neat too. The staff is so helpful and friendly. They will even pot your plants for an extra $ 5 (totally worth it) including soil, a pebble topping of your choice, and cool rocks to top it off! Will be coming back soon :-)

Awesome selection of cacti & succulents. I always find stuff here I don’t see at other nurseries. It’s great to have a plant shop in town that just specializes in succulents — a lot more variety and rare types, and the staff is extremely knowledgeable about their plants. Love coming out here!
Buy enough so that you get a spin on the succulent wheel — you won’t be disappointed!

Update! Due to my own negligence and a super-​sucky winter, a bunch of my succulents died this winter. When I came back to pick up a replacement for my favorite one (which I’d had for 2 years and was super-​sad when it died), the guys there were really helpful again and gave me some advice on how to prevent plant death by frost in the near future.
I still love this place. It’s awesome. And it’s really fun to shop there!

These guys are rather awesome! If you are into succulents at all I think this is probably the best place in town for you to shop for new additions to your succulant garden.
The variety here is absolutely astounding. I’ve never seen anyone specialize so much in one type of plant. They have such a diverse selection of succulents that its hard to keep track of them all.
The arrangements are also very nice. I especially like the ones that are made from old beer cans. They also have everything you need to put together your own arrangement.
The employee’s here were very nice and helpful. They seem to enjoy their job and are really into working with the succulents and never mind stopping what they are doing to talk to you about what is clearly their passion.
They are inside another business so they can be somewhat hard to find but if you looking for a large variety of succulents this is the place to go.

I tried to bring someone here to buy him a gift. «I’m too sleepy to shop,» he grumped on a Saturday morning. I’M NOT! THIS PLACE IS AWESOME! And off I dashed to look at all the funky cacti and succulents. I’m no garden expert, but they have a LOT of varieties and they all looked pretty happy.
Picked out an adorable planter they’d readymade in a recycled casserole dish. Two plants, cute moss, a little bit of driftwood and two adorable plastic figurines. $ 30 of cute, way better than two bouquets. Don’t let another Saturday roll past. Fight the sleepies. Get some succulents.

Heads up, this will be a lame review because I know nothing about plants. (But I promise I will leave a special treat for you at the end, how’s that?)
What I do know is that these people DO know about plants. A friendly (a bit funky) knowledgeable staff was very helpful and there was plenty from which to pick from to design our xeriscape.
I found it very convenient that Tillery St was right next door (i.e. adjacent in the same space) because I suspect this means there is a bit of friendly competition and you are going to get the best deal. Depending on the specific plant we were reviewing, one side or the other had a better deal or selection.
Now here is where it gets super lame: I’m going to cut and paste this same review in Tillery St. and change the name because I’m not awesome enough to tell the difference.
As promised, here is a little nugget that will likely make your day.
