Great plant

I ordered three times this year and absolutely happy with my orders - the geraniums are growing and blooming without breake. I look forward to order the new plants.

Can't wait for it to bloom - doing so well

I recently received the Geranium, so it hasn't actually bloomed yet, but it is very healthy and growing and has a ton of buds on it. The color is sure to follow. Beautiful, strong plant.

Americana Coral Zonal Geranium Plant

I was pleasantly surprised at how well-packed the zonal geraniums were. They look like they are in a little open coffin, which secures the plant well during shipping, yet allows the plant itself to breathe. With this special packing, the plants sustained no damage to the leaves, buds or flowers. Amazing job GrowJoy.

One Tiny Hesitation About an Otherwise Wonderful Plant

This plant has grown well and with ease. As time has passed it has become fuller, taller, and continually more spectacular. My single reservation has to do with color. And perhaps my small disappointment has to do with the fact that I planted it in a bed with almost continuous sunshine. But the plant was advertised as being a deep coral in color, while I have found it a true and vibrant orange, with nothing coral about it. As such it does not combine with the other plants in this bed quite as beautifully as I had hoped. This is, however, a very small reservation about what is undoubtedly a healthy and beautiful plant.

American Coral Geranium

This is my 4th or 5th year ordering from GrowJoy and they have exceeded my expectations once again. Even with the harsh past winter my plants arrived healthy and carefully packaged. I wish all online nurseries were this exceptional!
