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.

    love spicy foods

    Posted by Curly and Mo on Apr 14, 2020

    I bought these with the mix and match discount. we love growing our own food, especially spicy foods. Plus I can support a small business this way as well. The plants we ordered (3 peppers and 3 tomatoes) came in fantastic condition and we didn't have to leave the house. just perfect!

    Proven Winners are the best!

    Posted by Marlaine on Apr 11, 2020

    I saw this plant from Proven Winners and just had to give it a try. We love growing our own peppers to make salsa, and I saw this plant produces more peppers with less maintenance. Can't wait to see the results this summer!
