Gardening is our passion which we have turned into a business. We love everything about the House.
In South Australia, we grow our own live plants, which we sell in our Nursery Section as cuttings, tube stock, or plants in pots. We know that taking care of a garden isn’t just about plants, though, so we’ve added sections for just about everything about the home and garden.
We’re always getting new items in, and we hope to have thousands of new items in the next few months. Most of them can be shipped all over the world, except for live plants.
Because some products are too big to ship to places outside of Australia, we’ve had to limit shipping of some products to within Australia only. This will account for about 2020% of products, but most can be shipped around the world, and listings will usually say if there are shipping restrictions to areas outside of Australia on the item page.
Because live plants go bad quickly, they can only be shipped within Australia. We can only ship to NSW, SA, Vic, Qld, and ACT, though, because of quarantine rules in some states. We don’t have the right licenses yet to ship to NT, WA, and TAS, but we will look into this in the future. Any sales for live plants in the exclusion zones will be refunded shortly after the order.
You can buy plants in NSW, Vic, SA, ACT, and Qld. They will all be sent out via Australia Post Express the following Monday or Tuesday so they can arrive before the weekend, unless they were pre-ordered. Most Plant orders are delivered in 1-4 business days and come with our 100% money back guarantee.
Every other Home
We grow our own plants from a lot of different types, like Geraniums, Pelargoniums, Osteospermums (African Daisies), succulents, herbs, and more. As it was said, these can only be sent to the places listed above, so if you want to order them, make sure you are in NSW, Vic, ACT, SA, or Qld.
You can learn more about how plants are packed by reading our blog post called “how our live plants are packaged for shipment.” The post has photos that show each step of the process.
Other items are shipped out separately from plants because they contain different amounts of perishable and non-perishable items. All packages will have a tracking number for your convenience, and you will automatically receive an email with information about the shipment.
If you want to know about our new plants and home goods, You will then receive our newsletters when new stock is added and receive any promotional offers in future.
We hope to have you on board in future and support our small family business in South Australia. Take a look around our store for now, and if you have any questions, feel free to use the “contact us” link.
Geraniums are one of the most popular flowering plants for gardens, containers, and window boxes Their vibrant blooms come in shades of red, pink, purple, orange, white and bi-colors With over 200 species, there is a geranium for virtually every garden situation. For the best selection of healthy, live geranium plants for sale, GrowJoy offers top-performing varieties suitable for all climates.
Why Choose Live Plants Over Seeds or Cuttings
Starting geraniums from seeds can be tricky and cuttings require some gardening skills. Buying live starter plants takes the guesswork out of growing success. Live plants arrive with an established root system ready to thrive when transplanted into the garden. This gives them a leg up during the critical establishment phase over seeds or cuttings. GrowJoy’s live plants are shipped at precisely the right time for planting in your growing zone.
Tips for Selecting the Best Live Geraniums
When choosing live geraniums, look for:
-
Healthy foliage: Avoid plants with yellow, brown or curled leaves. Select plants with green leaves without spots or discoloration.
-
Robust growth: Opt for stocky plants with lots of buds over thin, leggy plants. Pinch off any flowers in bloom so the plant directs energy into expanding its roots and foliage.
-
Well-developed roots: Gently squeeze the pot to feel for a dense root ball and avoid root-bound plants whose roots circle the container.
-
No pest damage: Check for signs of insects like chewed leaves or webs, which indicate pests.
-
Sized for containers: For pots, choose plants suited to the pot size, usually 4-6 inches tall. Larger, bushier plants 10 inches tall work well in garden beds.

- Zones 9-10: February to April
Container planted geraniums can be enjoyed all season before transplanting into the garden in fall in zones 8-10.
How to Plant Live Geraniums

Prepare the planting area in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil. Space plants 12-18 inches apart.
-
Remove the plant from its pot and loosen tangled roots. Dig a hole the depth of the root ball.
-
Place the plant in the hole and fill with surrounding soil, keeping it at the same level it was growing in the pot.
-
Water thoroughly after planting and as needed until established. Feed regularly with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
-
Pinch off spent blooms to encourage more flowers. Cut back leggy growth to keep plants full.
Caring for Geraniums Through Summer and Fall

Water 1-2 inches per week, allowing soil to dry between waterings.

Apply an all-purpose fertilizer every 2-4 weeks.
