I ordered several herbs and they were expertly packaged, high quality, healthy and it was a great selection. The herbs were shipped promptly as I’d requested and for a decent price. I’ll buy from GrowJoy again!

Bought 2 plants and they both are growing well all season long. 1 of my plants didn't arrive well, but received great customer service and it eventually rebounded.

Plants were in great condition when arrived. I planted in the garden and is doing well. I grew this herb last 2 years from Grow Joy and am very happy with the result. Looking forward to making pesto!
From Frank | June 25, 2021
I purchase some of my veggie and herb starter plants every year from GrowJoy. I am never disappointed.
From sabrina | May 11, 2021
This plant is right out my back door. And every time I go in and out the door and brush up against I just imagine what a French or Italian herb garden must smell like.
From Patti | July 13, 2020
Nice plants, arrived healthy and intact. They're now growing nicely.
From GREGORY | May 08, 2020
I ALREADY CAN START PICKING IN ONE SHORT WEEK
From Chris | April 05, 2020
I ordered a couple of these plants and one got crushed during shipping- to no fault of Grow Joy. Everything was packaged amazingly well. After a quick chat a new healthy plant was on its way!

Beautiful basil plant. I have made pesto with it, the flavor is phenomenal.

This is a great looking plant with nice, big leaves. I really appreciate how well packaged it was and how the soil was still moist upon arrival. Very pleased!

These leaves have lots of flavor . Very fast growing , over two feet high . Great to season and bake or grill chicken with .
From Tom | November 27, 2016
The post office delivered the plant 2 days after the tracking showed it arrived. It was dry and couldn't be saved. The customer service of GrowJoy immediately sent out another one which arrived quickly and in great shape.
From Lorraine | July 12, 2016
I have ordered many plants online. I was completely and pleasantly surprised by the health and size of this Basil Italian Large Leaf Herb Plant. I had to plant it in an 8" pot(I start most of my plants in 4" pots)to give to roots room. It is fragrant and beautiful.
From Abby | September 15, 2015
This Basil Italian plant arrived mid summer in great condition. A really nice size and ready to grow!

Everything was great except for an issue with shipping.
From John | June 25, 2015
Always perfect Basil Herb plants delivered, thanks!
From anonymous | May 29, 2015
Very satisfied with my Basil Italian Large Leaf Herb plants.
From Daniel | May 15, 2015
I ordered several different plants and all of them arrived within the time frame promised for delivery. They all arrived in excellent condition and a nice size. I am hoping the Basil-Italian Large Leaf tastes as good as people say. I highly recommend GrowJoy.
From Max | May 08, 2015
I'm basically going to write the same review for each item I ordered. GrowJoy really knows what they're doing when it comes to growing plants; vegetable, herbs and flowering and packing them to ship across the United States. I received my babies in fantastic condition. They were packed with care and they arrived safely. This is the third year I've ordered from GrowJoy and with each new year I'm ordering more because of their quality, prices and customer support when you have questions about anything you order from them!
From Claudia | June 07, 2014
good looking Italian Large Leaf plant
From anonymous | June 01, 2014
When I opened my order the smell of Basil brought me back to old memories, specifically Sunday dinner with my mother's great Sunday sauce.
From anonymous | May 22, 2014
As fresh as if I bought it locally
From anonymous | May 11, 2014
All the varieties of Basil that I purchased arrived healthy, happy and are thriving. Growing nicely in the garden. All plants are packed professionally and arrived with no damage whatsoever.
From Frances | April 10, 2014
They arrived very fast and were great! Thank you!!
From Gail | October 18, 2013
These transitioned right into the garden. I couldn't help but nibble leaves and inhale the aroma right out of the box. Thank you GrowJoy for high quality herbs.
From Denise | October 10, 2013
The plant arrived is perfect condition.. or better stated, it survived UPS delivery. GrowJoy advised in big bold print that the package contained PERISHABLE products, but UPS, as usual, ignored the warning and delivered the plants at 7 p.m. keeping them in a hot, Phoenix baked truck all day. If only companies would stop using UPS!!!
From Fran | July 22, 2013
Plants arrived packed beautifully and healthy; am excited to start pinching away!!
From Barbara | July 08, 2013
nice full herb plant arrived in good shape, all ready for harvesting.
From anonymous | July 03, 2013
All of the Basil plants I ordered looked great when they arrived. Some of my other herb plants didn't seem to looks so well upon arrival but the Basil was great and seems to be doing fantastic in my garden. I'm not sure if it was just the shipping that was traumatic to my other herbs or not but the Dill looked pretty sad when it arrived and still isn't doing so hot in the garden. If you thinking about buying the Basil it's a good purchase.
From anonymous | May 23, 2013
I am happy from the way they are shipped so carefully, to the wonderful size of the plants, I am very happy with my purchases and will continue to use you for my needs. thank you
From Tammy | May 14, 2013
The Basil Italian Large Leaf Herbs arrived in good condition, packed well
From Mary | April 11, 2013
I love my Basil plant! I re-potted it right away in a big bigger pot, and it's doing so well. I have it inside under a grow light, and it's very happy. I've already used the Basil in several things, and tasted it by itself. It's so flavorful.
From KeriLynn | August 24, 2012
I ordered Basil, Lavender and other herbs as table decorations and favors for a bridal shower. The herbs arrived in mint condition and they were a hit as favors. Everyone loved them! What a great idea!
From Linda | August 13, 2012
This little plant is taking off nicely. The fresh smell and taste of Basil is lovely. I want to bring it inside for winter and hope that it keep producing leaves.
From Deb | August 09, 2012
The Basil Italian plants arrived healthy and I must note there is a possibility of delay in shipment for extra scan by whom ever!!!!!
From anonymous | August 03, 2012
It's my 1st time ordering herbs online and I'm glad I found this place. The Basil I received about a month ago is still thriving and very very fragrant. I will be ordering more herbs.
From ty | July 06, 2012
Prompt delivery of stocky Italian Large Leaf Basil plants. Planted just before heat wave, so watered every 2-3 days. Doing well so far. Nipping buds already.
