Top Quality Plants

I have ordered from GrowJoy for several years and have never had a problem. The plants arrive carefully packaged and very healthy.

Healthy and packaged well

Received six 2 in pots with 4-5 inch healthy plants with flowers. They were well packed, however, the box was received marked damaged and re-taped by USPS. The flowers were pale and not Dark as pictured. Hopefully, they will deepen in color as the plants mature. Overall, very happy with purchase.
