About J&L Plants, Inc.

Mr. James T. Irwin and his son Larry established J and L Plants in the Spring of 1973. The greenhouses are located in Amarillo, TX and have been family owned and operated for over 40 years. The original operation consisted of six gutter-connected greenhouses, totaling 30,000 square feet. J and L Plants has grown a number of different potted flowering crops including: Kalanchoe, Geranium, Chrysanthemum, Begonia, Poinsettia, Exacum and Crossandra. For the past 30 years the company’s main crop has been Kalanchoe blossfeldiana but we have also continued to produce geraniums, assorted succulents and custom order crops .
Today, Larry Irwin and his two sons, Jarratt and Tanner, operate the business and range of greenhouses. The greenhouse range now consists of 25 gutter-connected houses, totaling over 125,000 square feet. As market demands change so will the product mix offered at J and L Plants.
