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.

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Phlox needs full sun for the most blooms and strongest stems. Please give these perennials at least six hours of sun a day. Well-drained, enriched soil that doesn't stay soggy for long is also important. Elevate your planting in heavy soil types by planting in a mounded heap of extra soil, or raised bed. Apply water on a regular schedule for best performance. Container-grown plants need careful watering, including a long soak in fall. Add a three-inch layer of mulch over the root system. Please pull it back to avoid having it touch the stems.
You will want to plant in well-drained soil with full sun for the best growth possible of about 22 inches tall and 24 inches wide. This easy-care perennial is incredibly disease-resistant, especially from the harmful powdery mildew! Nothing can harm this plant's magnificent coloration and health!
Deadhead as soon as the blooms fade, and you may enjoy a second flush of blossoms. Easy care Phlox can be pruned to the ground in late fall. Or, if you don't get a chance to get it done, you can do it in late winter too! Divide your mounds every 3-5 years while they are dormant to increase the root system's vigor.
