WHAT KIND OF WEIRD ARE WE TALKING?
Strange Leaves, Odd Growth or Something Properly Different?
Texture, colour, shape, movement or a plant that simply does things differently?
Pick the route and find something with a little more personality.
UNUSUAL WITHOUT THE CONFUSION
Character Comes in Plenty of Forms
A plant does not have to be rare to make you stop and look twice.
Unusual plants can stand out because of their foliage, colour, texture, flowers or the way they grow and change over time.
01
SHAPE
Twisted leaves, unusual proportions and unexpected foliage forms can completely change the way a plant looks.
02
TEXTURE
Velvet leaves, ridges, scales and other distinctive surfaces can give even a familiar plant group a completely different feel.
03
COLOUR
Dark foliage, unusual tones and variegation can all make a plant stand out from more familiar everyday greenery.
04
GROWTH
Some plants earn their place here simply because their growth habit or the way they develop is unlike the usual houseplant favourites.
UNUSUAL IS NOT THE SAME AS RARE
Different Is Enough
Some unusual plants are genuinely hard to find. Others simply have distinctive features that make them stand out. This collection is about character, not rarity for rarity's sake.

A Few Things You Might Want to Know
What Makes a Houseplant Unusual? +
A houseplant can feel unusual because of its leaf shape, colour, texture, growth habit, flowers or the way it develops over time.
Are Unusual Houseplants the Same as Rare Plants? +
Not always.
A rare plant is usually harder to source or available in smaller numbers, while an unusual plant may simply have distinctive features that make it stand out.
If rarity is your main focus, explore Rare & Collector Plants.
What Types of Unusual Houseplants Do You Sell? +
The collection can include unusual Alocasia, Philodendron, Monstera, carnivorous plants, textured foliage plants, odd growth forms and other distinctive varieties.
Availability changes regularly, so there is usually something different appearing in the Unusual Jungle.
Are Unusual Houseplants Difficult to Care For? +
Not necessarily.
Some unusual plants are straightforward once they have the right light and watering, while others can be more particular about humidity, temperature or growing media.
Always check the needs of the individual plant rather than assuming unusual means difficult.
Do You Sell Unusual Alocasia? +
When available, the Unusual Jungle can include distinctive Alocasia alongside other houseplants chosen for unusual foliage, colour, texture or growth.
Do You Sell Carnivorous Plants? +
Unusual Jungle can include carnivorous plants depending on current stock.
Explore Carnivorous Jungle for the dedicated collection.
Why Does the Unusual Plant Collection Keep Changing? +
Stock changes regularly as different varieties become available.
That means plants with new foliage shapes, colours, textures and growth habits can appear throughout the year.
Can You Help Me Find a Specific Unusual Plant? +
Absolutely.
If you are looking for something specific that is not currently available, our Plant Genie can help us search beyond the plants already in the Jungle.
Tell us the species, variety or type of plant you are hunting for and we’ll see what we can track down.
Where Can I Find Harder to Source Plants? +
If you want something specifically harder to find, explore Rare & Collector Plants.
That collection focuses more directly on sought after, limited and harder to source varieties.
Can I Order Unusual Houseplants for UK Delivery? +
Yes. Many unusual houseplants can be ordered online for delivery across the UK, subject to the delivery options shown on each individual product.
