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.

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Allium love the full sun and can also tolerate partial shade, especially in the hottest of its preferred growing zones. Plant in very enriched, well-drained soil and provide just enough water to get established. Deadhead to prevent seed spread, or spray paint the dried flower heads for lasting garden interest! Leave the foliage intact to make food for the bulb, then prune in autumn once the leaves have yellowed.
