Red Lantana

Received nice, big healthy plants. A lot of blooms on the plant. Can't wait for the humingbirds to find the new plants.

From Patti | July 26, 2024


Pretty little plant

This is my second year purchasing the lantana. Last year the blooms were vibrant and so beautiful. I look forward to seeing these beautiful blooms again.

Lantana

Lantana plants arrive healthy, but are small. You never know which ones grow large. I had one in a pot grow over 6 feet tall in a whiskey barrel. I had to stake it up. The hummingbirds loved it all summer. All of Growjoy’s flowers are healthy and bloom profusely. Lots better prices than local nurseries and big box stores like Walmart and Lowe’s.

Sun Lover

Hardy and extended blooms all through summer. All sorts of pollinators frequent our Lantanas.

Hardy Plants

Just received plants. They are beautiful and very hardy. The packaging of these plants is the best to insure no breakage. We have gotten over half planted. They are strong healthy plants. Will buy again next year!

From Peggy | May 18, 2019


Already growing bigger!

Planted these a few days after arrival here in FL and they are already settling in and growing. Can't wait so see them when they are full grown.

Lantna

These grow so fast, so I put them in my large pots with my Canna's.

From Glenn | May 24, 2018


Very Healthy Plants

I received these plants within two days and am very pleased with them. They look healthy and were not smashed or broken from the packaging. I bought some last fall from another company and two days after I got them all of the leaves fell off. Needless to say I will not order from them again. Thank you for the nice plants, I will order from you again. Your prices are good and plants are healthy.

Bandana Red Lantana

Half of our plants arrived damaged - heat and dryness. GrowJoy refunded quickly with a credit to my credit card, and an apology. I will order again when its a little cooler in Florida!

From Kathleen | July 31, 2014


BEST PLACE ONLINE TO BUY PLANTS

The packaging on these plants was the best ever. There was no way the plants could be damaged in shipping. They arrived quickly, healthy and ready to plant. I will never buy plants anywhere else.

LOVE them LANTANAs
