Plants revcd on time and packaging to protect plants the best I've seen. All were of fine quality and ready for planting.

Love the shape

I have a planter that looks like a child in overalls and I need a plant to form the head. This one can be trimmed into a perfectly round shape and fits the bill perfectly.

My 8 Alternanthera plants

I purchased 4 varieties and they all came healthy and Beautiful. I was very impressed considering what I paid for them per plant. So glad I discovered GrowJoy while Googling.

Stunning color

This is a very unique looking plant. It adds a lot of interest when planted in the middle of a pot of brightly colored annuals. Highly recommend.
