very nice plant ,big.almost ready to bloom.

From Michael | August 25, 2023


Beautiful plants

All the plants I have gotten from growjoy have been of the best quality. Such large healthy plants. Beautiful.

From Carole | May 26, 2023


So far, so good

I had bought several of these from another company a few years ago. Only 1 has survived. I bought a couple from GrowJoy in the hopes that spot I planted them will fill in nicely...or at least stay alive... GrowJoys shipments are always well protected and the plants look robust and healthy. So impressed!

Love my goldstrum rudbeckia!

This was my first visit to GrowJoy and I could not be happier. The plants arrived in great condition and my goldstrum rudbeckia is already growing in my garden. Thanks everyone.
