Healthy plants

Arrived healthy. Transplanted without trauma. Bloomed quickly, while plant was still very small. Plant doesn’t seem to be growing very quickly which is why I give it a four.

From Sharon | July 08, 2023


Packing was great

Despite delivery folks doing everything in their power to mess it up. Box bent up live plant arrow pointing wrong way, all the plants are doing great! SunPatiens already flowering!

From Lew | April 03, 2021

Beautiful

Although the SunPatiens Compact Lilac Impatiens came a long way in the mail, they look like I picked them out myself at the local nursery. In the ground 3 days and they are already blooming. I will definitely get some more soon.

FANTASTIC

Love them. These flowers came perfectly packed and are growing everyday. Great company.

Pleasantly surprised!

We ordered for the first time last year and were extremely happy with our flowers all summer long!!

From anonymous | May 09, 2015


Nice purplish color

This SunPatiens Lilac plant came in a small pot, but was very healthy. The packaging was excellent! After 'hardening' the plant for a week, I planted it. I have heavy clay soil, but I didn't baby this plant at all. I just dug out a hole slightly bigger than the pot, threw some potting soil in the bottom of the hole, dropped in the plant and filled in the remaining gap with some more potting soil. After an initial watering, I've only watered it when it starts wilting. Within an hour, it looks beautiful again. It's now about 1.5 feet wide. No problems with disease or pest. Nice Plant!

From Keith | August 28, 2014


THANK YOU!

GrowJoy was great to work with. If there is a problem all you have to do is call, they take care of any issues right away. My SunPatiens Impatiens plants came and are beautiful!

From Gloria | May 29, 2014


super Impatiens plants

I don't know how you do it! My Lilac Impatiens plants arrived in great condition and ready to plant, however, I had to wait two days before I could plant them. No problem, they took hold and are thriving.

From anonymous | April 24, 2014


all season Lilac color!

I loved these so much last year, I purchased four plants this year. A low maintenance plant that provides vibrant colors all season! Since the shade variety contracted the disease and always died. SunPatiens are a perfect replacement, and actually prettier and easier to care for!

From David | April 10, 2014


lovely SunPatiens

Plants arrived in great condition. they are now in hanging pots and thriving. I love them. Thanks.

From jeanette | June 10, 2013
