Wonderful service

I was extremely happy with my Bonfire Begonias. GrowJoy took great care in packing them and they actually arrived with blooms! I will definitely be purchasing from GrowJoy again

Complete satisfaction

We have ordered a couple of times from GrowJoy and each time, the plants arrive in excellent condition and are an established size to jump start their growth and beauty. One order did not grow well and GrowJoy was terrifically supportive in providing us with a replacement. We could not be more pleased with the quality and service the have provided to us these past two years.

My plant arrived thriving and blooming! I have tried to sprout these on my own but they always damped off. This plant truly earned its name! Absolutely gorgeous!

Will Purchase Begonia Plants Again

Last summer my neighbor purchased a beautiful hanging basket filled with Bonfire Begonias. I knew I wanted Bonfire Begonia hanging baskets of my own this season but none of the local stores had them. Then I found them online at GrowJoy. I was a little unsure of ordering annuals and having them shipped, but I decided to go for it and placed the order. Three days later 14 very healthy Bonfire Begonias arrived at my house! None had suffered trauma during the delivery process as they were cleverly packaged. A week after planting they filling in nicely and blooming like crazy. It was more expensive purchasing annuals on the web but it will be worth it because no one else in my area will have hanging baskets like mine!

Beautiful Begonias arrived safe and sound

I was so happy to get these Bonfire Orange Begonias, which I couldn't find elsewhere. They arrived in packaging I had not seen before that kept them safe during shipping and they're now blooming up a storm, even in our 100+ heat! Thanks so much!
