Great plant

Plants came in excellent condition and they are drowning nicely in a container

From Karen | May 28, 2022

update at end of season

I used this plant in hanging baskets and they turned out stunning. I put 4 in a 14in wire baskets (3). Couldn't be happier with the results. Easily & quickly covered the baskets and hung down at least 15inches. South exposure and very long hot summer in SE Montana. Watered daily and fertilize as recommended. These beauties bloomed non stop and stood up to our winds too. Definitely ordering more for next year baskets. Arrived in great shape. Love GrowJoy! Fyi, I don't get plants until end of May, so these are hard fast growing until first heavy frost

Absolutely Stunning Blooms

The plants arrived in excellent condition and bloomed when set on my patio to get them used to our hot dry desert conditions. They are now in the garden and I am looking forward to more blooms. I will be ordering them again.

Beautiful plants

Very healthy, happy plants. They are blooming already!

Little creeper

Amazing little plant that took off like a rocket in its new pot. Unfortunately a critter munched the whole thing even though I had a cloche over it. I enjoyed it while it lasted and would buy again.

From Linsey | June 28, 2020

GrowJoy Does It Again!

This variety of portulaca is hard to find, even harder in healthy condition. GrowJoy delivered beautiful plants that I know will produce gorgeous blooms all summer. Grow Joy is truly top notch!

Colorblast Watermelon Punch Portulaca Plant (Moss Rose)

These bright pink and yellow Moss Roses are the prettiest I've ever seen and were already blooming when I received them. Thank you, GrowJoy! Nancy G.

From Nancy | July 17, 2019

Happy customer

My order came well packaged and very healthy. I immediately gave it a drink of water and I swear it grew in the two days until I got it in the ground. Can't wait for it to flower!

From anonymous | May 01, 2019

AWESOME!

This was my first time purchasing from GrowJoy and I am so glad I found them. The shipping was very fast and my plant arrived healthy with no broken stems. I would definitely recommend them and I look forward to purchasing from them again. Thank you!

From Amy | April 25, 2019

Beautiful plants!

My Portulaca arrived in excellent shape. The packaging is amazing at protecting the foliage from damage. They've perked up nicely. I can't wait to see them bloom! I am also excited for the other 2 plants to ship. If they arrive as nicely as the Portulaca, I will be one happy gardener!
