Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty whether you’re new or an expert.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant purchase.

    Flower Color

    Posted by Stacy K on Apr 10, 2020

    It's a shame people are leaving negative feedback on flower color due to them failing to do their research on this plant or read descriptions. Depending on the acidity of your soil: you will either have pink or blue flowers. The company has zero control over your soil type.

    happy customer

    Really happy with this. I just bought 1 plant because I have never heard of this website before. I'm happy with how healthy the plant arrived and it is still doing great in my garden!

    Pink flowers!

    Posted by Christy on Oct 30, 2017

    So disappointed! I planted this thinking it would have really blue flowers, and they are all closer to pink than any other color! I asked for a refund and the company told me that it is due to the soil and out of their control, and couldn't offer me a refund. Total deception by this company! I will be reporting them to the BBB!
