Recommendation

2021 I purchased three large healthy well packaged plants. The first year, one plant bloomed. This spring all three are blooming and stand at least three feet tall. I'll order in the future.

Quality plants

This is the 1st year I've order plants from Grow Joy, I am impressed, very satisfied...I will be a return customer.

big and bushy

these were the best mail-order plants I've ordered. Better than what I've purchased from local greenhouses. So full and bushy. Lots of new growth. I thought some sucking insects might be present. I shot them with water. Will buy again and I might drive to the greenhouse in Berne.
