Comment: I ordered 4 Joe-Pye weeds and they arrived healthy and on time. They are doing great! We have an area in our yard that is damp and has standing water when it rains. I searched for years for something that would thrive there and I think I found it! I gifted one to my native plant loving cousin and his is also doing well. Looking forward to seeing it grow for years to come!

Comment: If the Gateway Eupatorium Plant is called a weed, it is truly a beautiful weed! Our garden club calls it a wonderful Native Plant, and it grew so beautiful and bushy, the bees and butterflies love it. I do too! I have it in my butterfly garden, surrounded by the Baby Joe Pye Weed plants I got from GrowJoy too.

Comment: I had concerns about ordering live plants thru the mail. And since I have never done so in the past I had some serious apprehensions this time. But when I received my order, which included the gateway joe-pye weed, I was really surprised. All the plants were healthy and undamaged. They were, though, just a little shaken up from the postal journey. But after unwrapping them and giving them all a drink, they perked right up. And as for customer service, I think they're the best. I just wish other ... More details

Comment: Ordered plants arrived on time, and with strong root systems in the usual quality protective packaging I have come to expect from this vendor. These should be a good addition to our butterfly garden.

Comment: I called in late May, 2015 to order 3 Gateway Eupatoriums and GrowJoy had the plants on hand. I received the order in just a couple days and the plants were very nice. Also, the person I talked with was courteous and helpful. Reviewers on the Dave's Garden web site had given them good reviews overall. I have marked GrowJoy as a favorite and will be doing business with them in the future.

Comment: This is the first time I have tried Joe Pye weed and I am so looking forward to seeing how it performs. At the moment it is tiny so I have transferred it to a larger pot and am taking good care of it before putting it in a sunny spot in my garden. Although small the plant arrived very healthy and I was very satisfied with the prompt service I received.
