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:
Polemonium perennials need to be planted in full sun to partial shade areas in well-drained soil that is rich in humus. Hardy throughout a wide range of chilly USDA growing zones 3, all the way up to zone 8! Provide regular moisture for new plants to get them through their first seasons in the ground and top-dress with a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch around their base. Deadhead the flowers after they fade, and clean up the mounds in the autumn after frost.
