Very healthy & lush, growing great, can’t wait til fall to see the blooms!

I’m so glad I found GrowJoy! I was trying to find mums to plant in the spring, so they’d be well established for fall blooming and surviving the winter. Unfortunately, I first wasted money ordering what turned out to be sickly & dead plants when they were delivered from a big box store. Thankfully, searching for mums I found GrowJoy...5 orders later of all sorts of plants, I’m THRILLED! Every single plant, including this gorgeous Matchstick Mum has been delivered VERY healthy and lush! I planted them right away, and they’ve been growing fast & full! I can’t wait till Fall to see the beautiful, interesting blooms!! Thanks, again, GrowJoy for ANOTHER beautiful plant! Now, I need a bigger yard, so I can buy more :-)

Spider Mums

I wasn't sure about ordering since I had never heard of this company. But I wanted the spider mums, so I went ahead and ordered. They just arrived a few days ago. They were extremely well packaged, and look very healthy. So, so far I'm very happy and impressed.

Great plants

I bought multiple hardy mums from GrowJoy and they always arrived strong and healthy and bloomed the same season. Matchstick is a very exiting mum and I'm looking forward to see the blooms.

Good size plants

I ordered plants from various suppliers at the same time. This supplier was one of the 2 that shipped nice sized plants that transplanted easily. I am looking forward to the blooms this fall.

trustworthy plant nursery

I ordered 17 chrysanthemums and all were packed carefully and arrived in a healthy condition ready to plant. This company ships when they stated and handled my order in a professional manner. Hooray, finally found a company that I can trust!

Very Happy With Purchase

I purchased these Matchstick Perennial Mums this past spring, but waited until they bloomed to write a review. All the plants I ordered were remarkably packaged for shipment and received in excellent condition. I could never find anything at my local nursery that would compare in color or uniqueness to the mums I ordered from GrowJoy.

So far so good!

The Matchstick Perennial Mum plant arrived healthy and happy with worm casings included. Hoping I can get these mums to grow a bit before a Sept. 30th wedding.

Matchstick Perennial Mum (Live Plant) 2.5-Inch Pot

Arrived in very good condition. As on 7/6 plants are growing well.

Matchstick Mum!

Simply incredible! Planted two beautiful plants spring 2015. Growth was suburb! Now the switch: One flowered with a small yellow center and large flaming red tips. The other had a very large yellow centers and small flaming red "match" tips. So it was like two totally different incredible plants loaded with flowers. You will love this one!

Matchstick Mums

This is a new kind of mum for me. Hoping they give good results. Mums arrived in good condition - as described. Easy to plant. Have been in the ground a week now - so far looking good!

Beautiful Mum

I ordered this Matchstick Mum last year and it was stunning so I ordered another one this year. All the mums I ordered came in wonderful condition and ready to plant. All returned this spring even after our record breaking cold and snow here in Michigan.

From Nancy | May 19, 2014

Pretty Mums!

Can't wait to see these bloom in my fall display! Arrived looking nice and healthy! Will definitely be ordering again! Thank you GrowJoy!

Growing Still

My Matchstick Mums are looking good in their pots. We are in a terrible drought now, but I water every morning before work.
