growing strong
From Michael | August 14, 2023
Healthy plant. Growing well near the tomatoes.
From Carolyn | June 05, 2023
The plant arrived at my home looking very healthy. I was surprised that I did not have to water the plant because the soil was wet. Conditions were not suitable for me to plant outside for 3 days and the plant remained as healthy as when it came. Now it is outside and thriving. Thank you. I will be buying this plant every year.

I never received because they weren't satisfied with what they had in the greenhouse but refunded me right away and were very responsive. I love this company and i will definitely be purchasing more plants in the near future.

First time growing basil! It smells so fragrant and grows very fast!
From Kenyatta | April 27, 2022
My basil plant is thriving and producing so much that I just googled how to preserve it, and was thrilled to learn it can be frozen. I am thrilled with this plant, and will most certainly be ordering another one next year!

I recently bought several basil plants for a mixed hay basket planters for under the windows. The aroma is heavenly. The plants are robust and growing. I mixed these with geranium and already blooms.

Always perfect Basil Genovese Herb plants delivered.
From anonymous | May 29, 2015
My order was received alive (very good sized) and very well packed. They have been planted in containers on my balcony and are flourishing. I have been ordering from GrowJoy for at least four years and have always been pleased with the results. Last year I placed my order a bit late and some of the herbs I wanted were no longer available. I ordered from two other sources and was extremely disappointed in the results. The plants were small and sickly looking and a couple did not survive.
From Virginia V | May 14, 2015

I ordered Herbs for my new raised garden planter box. Thyme, Basil, Chives & Parsley. They arrived exactly when expected and were packed perfectly. They were in great shape and are loving their new location. So far so good ! I am very happy with this supplier.
From Lyn | April 09, 2014
Genovese Basil Plants arrived in good condition.
From Debbie | March 27, 2014
by priority mail received Basil-Genovese in 3 work days with USPS. Received Heirloom-Tomatoes in 4 work days by UPS. Both shipments arrived fine in California. There were planting instructions with tomatoes; none with basil. I am satisfied with the 2 orders and will probably order again next year. Jack

This was my first experience with this Basil variety. I wasn't disappointed. It grew quite well all season, and made great pesto. I only wish I'd purchased more than one plant!
From Jennifer | December 29, 2012
We live in the south of France, near the Italian border, part of the year. Here in New York this is the tastiest most aromatic Basil plant on our terrace. We harvest the leaves as needed. Thank you GrowJoy!

Prompt delivery of stocky Basil Genovese herb plants. Planted just before heat wave, so watered every 2-3 days. Doing well so far. Nipping buds already.
