Plant Sentry™

Plant Sentry is designed to protect both consumers and the nursery trade from invasive plant pests and diseases. Sites that display the Plant Sentry protection badge are protected from consumers buying and nurseries shipping material carrying invasive pests and diseases.

This proprietary eCommerce software prevents the shipment of a restricted plant to each state. The Plant Sentry system includes a shipment certification program. The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

Delivery and Shipping

Shipping

To obtain a more accurate shipment time-frame, simply enter your zip code in the “Find Your Growing Zone” box to the right. Our plants are grown all over the country and lead time on items may be different because of this. Once your order is placed, you will also receive the specific shipment time-frame information as part of your order confirmation. Once an item ships, you will receive shipment notification and tracking numbers, so you can follow along while your plant travels to your doorstep. We use FedEx, UPS, or USPS at our discretion.

 

Due to winter weather we have put a hold on shipping to the areas shown below in grey. You can still order now and we will ship the plant to you during an appropriate time for your zone.

*If you have found your zone already, it will be highlighted in the table below.

Ready to add some magic to your landscape? Looking for something really different to put between your stepping stones or as a groundcover in your perennial beds? We have the plant for you!

The Proven Winners® Black Scallop Bugleweed (Ajuga reptans 'Black Scallop') shows off compelling dark purple glossy quilted leaves that are almost black! The leaves are upright and wavy, which brings a nice texture to your garden! Low-growing and spreading flowering groundcovers, Bugleweed is a wonderfully showy foliage accent!

Tiny spikes of deep-lavender flowers shoot up in the spring! Pollinators adore these flower spikes and they add an additional layer of beauty to these hardy perennial plants. Combine that with the dramatically dark foliage that is also aromatic thanks to its Mint family relations, and you get a showy groundcover that deer and rabbits seldom bother!

Growing and spreading throughout USDA planting zones 4 to 9. Highly adaptable to sun and shade, these creeping groundcover ornamentals will add beauty to your landscape with ease!

Landscape Application:

Black Scallop forms a 4-inch tall mat of colors so dark that your stepping stones stand out like beacons! An extremely hardy groundcover that quickly forms a dense mat that blocks weeds and covers ground as landscape filler.

Besides being excellent along pathways and the driveway, or between stepping stones where it takes light foot traffic like a champ! It also excels as an edger in a flower bed or a filler in a Rock garden. You can even mow it after it blooms to maintain a neat appearance.

Go ahead and pot up in mixed planters or container gardens as a filler and spiller element. You can't go wrong with this fast-growing, hardy groundcover.

  • Deep-Lavender Spring Flowers
  • Deep, Dark Low-Growing Glossy Foliage
  • Fast Growing
  • Flowering Groundcover That's Foot Traffic Tolerant
  • Mat-Forming Landscape Filler, Container Spillers & Edging

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Though it does fine in full sun in cooler growing zones, and partial shade everywhere, the best and deepest color comes in a sunny location. In milder climates, these perennial groundcovers keep their color all year round and tolerate full shade in the hottest climates. Any well-drained soils work beautifully and Ajuga needs moderate moisture at first, but is pretty self-sufficient once established. While you enjoy this magical little plant you will rest easy knowing the deer and rabbits do not find it appealing.

  • Sun to Shade!
  • Well-Drained Soil
  • Moderate Moisture to Low Once Established
  • Clean Mounds In Late Autumn or Early Spring
  • Deer & Rabbit Resistant

Easy to care for and an attractive source of dramatic color, the Proven Winners® Ajuga Black Scallop Bugleweed will be a perfect accent to your landscape this year! Don't forget to order enough Black Scallop Bugleweed Ajuga for your next project from Nature Hills today!
