About Costa Farms®
Here at Costa Farms® we’re passionate about plants! So much so that we grow more than 1,500 varieties on 5,200 acres. A 60-year-old family-run company, we started on just 30 acres when our founder, Jose Costa Sr. grew tomatoes and calamondin citrus. We started innovating and got into tropicals and houseplants. It didn’t take long before we were introducing unusual new varieties. We’re still at it today: Our Plant Hunter travels the world to find beautiful, easy-care plants for in and around your home.
We’re dedicated to growing beautiful, healthy plants. To ensure you have the best-possible experience with our houseplants, we acclimate them from Miami conditions to those of the average home before shipping them to you. We grow our outdoor plants outside, so they don’t struggle in your landscape after being raised in a greenhouse.
We take pride in releasing new plant varieties and collections so you can pick the right plants for your home, office, or other space. For example, Trending Tropicals® allows you to get rare, unique houseplants from around the world. And Exotic Angel® Plants provides you the opportunity to collect a wide variety of small houseplants, many of which are uncommon and sought after by collectors.

Our Story
At Costa Farms, it’s in our DNA to grow.
Here at Costa Farms® we’re passionate about plants! So much so that we grow more than 1,500 varieties on 5,200 acres. Why do we do it? It’s grounded in our DNA. We never stop growing because plants are who we are. They express our creativity. They freshen the air we breathe. They make us feel healthy and productive. We hope you enjoy plants as much as we do, so we’re driven to provide support so can grow in your plant journey.
A 60-year-old family-run company,
we started on just 30 acres when our founder, Jose Costa Sr., grew tomatoes and calamondin citrus.
Headquartered in Miami, we’ve
endured everything from droughts to hurricanes – even the threat of a frost or two – to continue grow and bring you beautiful, healthy plants. Today, Costa Farms is one of the largest horticultural growers in the world.
While we’re growers, we’re also
innovators. In the late 1960s, we started growing tropicals and houseplants. It didn’t take us long to start introducing new varieties.
True to our mission, we’re driven
to help make new and rare plants more accessible. We were the first grower to introduce Raven® ZZ to North America, for example. And we continue to innovate with selections like Chameleon ZZ, Global Green Pothos, and more.
How do we do it? We have a team of
passionate growers, a Plant Hunter who travels the world, and a crew of
accounts, IT professionals, logistics experts, marketers, and more who make Costa Farms come to life.
Whether you buy Costa Farms plants
from your local plant shop or online and have them shipped fresh from our farm, your plants have been come from an experienced team dedicated to your success.
Our passion extends to outdoor
garden plants, as well. We’re excited to grow a variety of gorgeous flowering plants for tropical landscapes — or for container gardens on decks and patios
in areas outside of Florida.
We’ve been growing annual flowers
for more than 20 years in Miami and North Carolina. And in 2012 we expanded into South Carolina to begin offering perennial flowers to retailer stores in the Southeast.
How we do it
To ensure you have the best-possible experience with our plants, we acclimate them from our greenhouse’s conditions to those of the average home before shipping them to you. We grow our outdoor plants outside, so they don’t struggle in your landscape after being raised in a greenhouse.
Our headquarters is just southwest of Miami, Florida, and it’s here that we grow most of our houseplants. We also grow outdoor tropicals – like Hibiscus and Mandevilla – in Miami, as well as colorful annual bedding plants for container gardening and landscaping.
We have more than 10 ranges of greenhouses in Apopka, where we grow most of the plants in our Exotic Angel Plants collection, including popular varieties like Hoya and English Ivy. Many of these greenhouses are home to the mother plants we propagate our Exotic Angel crops from.
On the more than 1,000 acres where we grow in the Dominican Republic, you’ll find a lot of the mother plants for our most popular houseplants. From Aglaonema to ZZ Plant, we have fields and fields of plants we take cuttings from, then grow out so they can find their forever home with you.
While you probably know us from our houseplants, we also test and grow hundreds of varieties of beautiful, easy-care perennial garden plants. From Acorus to Vinca, our perennial farm is filled with plants that get shipped to stores throughout the Southeast.
Tucked in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, you’ll find our greenhouses where we grow a wide variety of colorful annual bedding plants, both by themselves and in combination planters and hanging baskets. They’re perfect for decorating your every outdoor space.
