Sweet coleus

A little smaller than the other plants but healthy and thriving. Vibrant color.

From Madeline | August 22, 2023


Still looking great

Like I said in another review they arrived a lil bruised but are fantastic now except for some annoying beings having a coleus salad buffet. I can’t find the little buggers to know what it is but it must be a yummy variety for them. I’ll order these again next year for sure.

Very Nice Plants

This is my second order from GrowJoy. The plants arrived in wonderful condition and are doing well in my garden. I am so happy to have stumbled across this company. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to purchase plants online.

Whoa! That color!

This plant color is gorgeous. I love coleus for the summer and GrowJoy has a wide variety. Main Street River Walk just pops, in daylight and in the evening.
