Healthy plant received

Although it's late in the season this plant arrived with buds on it. I expect to see the full bloom soon. Very pleased

Beautiful !

Growjoy.com was the first mail order I used for shipment of flowers. I was so excited to receive my flowers. They were all packaged like little flower presents to myself to put in my newly created perennial garden. They weren’t just a cutting or cut down to the soil but an actual live plant. I am so glad I ordered from Growjoy.com.

Paprika yarrow

I was impressed with the quality of all the products so far. Packaged with great care! The plants were all still green when I opened them. 2 weeks in the ground and my yarrow has already grown a few inches and started to flower! Highly recommended and I have recommended growjoy to several friends. Thank you for your amazing plants!

Healthy plants

Plants are so well packed and healthy. I have planted them late in the season so won't be able to comment on flower color. My deer took a liking to these particular yarrow vs. other types. I had to cover with wire mesh and they have recovered from the nibbling. I will be buying more plants from here.

Plant is still alive

I have not planted it as yet because of the extreme heat in our area.

Growing things.

This plant is not meant for just beauty like a rose or hibiscus it's meant for the environment and pollinators, and it's doing just that. I have pollinators all over my garden. I also have over 100 tomato and other veggies in my garden-so I really need the pollinators.

Love the yarrow!

I bought the yarrow several years ago from GrowJoy and it's one of the easiest plants to grow. This season I decided to add several more. It's been a week and a half and they're already growing. They have fern like leaves and little flowers the color of paprika. I highly recommend this plant. Easy, pretty and low maintenance.

Feathery Beauty

These Paprika Achillea arrived well-protected in an ingenious packaging system. Some of them already had open red flowers and the rest are in full bud. Pretty along my driveway.

Paprika Achilles

Very healthy looking plant. As soon as the ground dries out a bit., I will plant it with my Yellow Achilles. It promises to be a real showstopper!
