Comment: One could not hope for a more lovingly shipped plant! Every plant I've ever received from GrowJoy has been packed with Ace Ventura, Pet Detective in mind (remember the scene as he masqueraded as a UPS driver, treating a fragile box with wild abandon??). And then there's the treat of discovering the plant inside. I have been babying my new plants while waiting to get them into a new landscape cannot wait to see my results next year!
