Top Notch!!!

I bought 8 for 2 large hanging baskets (large wire baskets lined with long fiber sphagnum moss) in 2018. I put the baskets in my basement in front of a window for the winter. I brought them back outside in 2019. Both years they were absolutely beautiful. I never seen a prettier ivy geranium. They're in my basement again, and since you're not selling now, I'll try to root and start new baskets for Spring.

Lovely Ivy Geraniums

I have been looking for some Ivy Geraniums as they seem almost impossible to find at our local garden spots. I found GrowJoy online and I was quite pleased to see that they had Pink Contessa plants in stock. Needless to say, I jumped on them, and they arrived quickly and are happily growing in my hanging baskets. I was also impressed with the low prices on these plants! Very satisfied with the plants, and will be a repeat customer.

The plants were the size that was described. The packaging material is unique and protected the plants well.
