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.

Xeric and Alpine gardens rejoice! The Avalanche Mountain Sandwort (Arenaria montana 'Avalanche') has darling little pure white blossoms! These five-petalled beauties cheerfully smother the tops of these low-growing mounding plants and seem to float atop a sea of silvery gray-green foliage.

Don't let the silky petals and fine-textured foliage fool you, these perennial flowering ornamentals are tough! From late spring until early summer these xeric plants bloom with pure white blossoms and attract loads of pollinators.

Avalanche loves drier cooler weather and conditions, brightening any rocky area and tough location with its long-lasting bloom and silvery foliage.

Planting and Application:

Mountain Sandwort loves rocky, sandy and dry soil. Once established it is very drought tolerant and Xeric, so don't be afraid to tuck it on top of retaining walls, high hillsides and dangerous slopes. Use along hot sunny walkways and paths, around sunbaked landscape features and as edging along that side of your home's foundation.

Perfect in Alpine garden beds and rock gardens, these are ideal for that hell-strip along the road and sidewalk. The smaller size and low growth make Sandworts ideal for sunny porch and patio containers and planters! Once established, they require very little water and maintenance and act as a beautiful spiller, even when not in bloom!

  • Darling Pure White Blossoms
  • Bee & Butterfly Friendly
  • Fine-Textured Gray-Green Foliage
  • Low-Growing & Mat-Forming
  • Rock & Alpine Gardens, Xeriscaping, Groundcover

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Sandworts love full sun and won't really settle for anything less. They also need excellent drainage, so any drier, rocky or sandy location will suit them perfectly. Average garden beds and soil will work too, but just be sure you have very well-drained soil on the drier side. Slower growing just means less maintenance from you!

  • Full Sun
  • Any Well-Drained Soil & Low Water Needs Once Established
  • Deer Resistant
  • Prune/Clean Mound Late Winter
  • Cold Hardy USDA Zones 4-8

Buy Avalanche Mountain Sandwort for a cheerful and easy care little flowering ornamental groundcover perennial that will stand up to the challenges of full sun and dry locations! Order now at NatureHills.com!
