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.

Gorgeous blue flowers are tough as nails! Lily of the Nile (Agapanthus africanus) In Southern California and the Coastal South, these beauties bloom year-round and can even remain semi-evergreen throughout mild winters! The big round umbles shoot up each summer like fireworks of cornflower blue trumpets and announce their arrival to every bee, butterfly, and Hummingbird around!

If you live in zone 8-10 you are probably well-versed in Lily-of-the-Nile, also known as African Lilies, as they are such easy to grow and resilient plants that they are ubiquitous in strip malls, parking lots, and municipal buildings everywhere. They are so elegant and striking you can find them in landscapes from urban apartment complexes to posh Rodeo Drive and Worth Avenue retailers! The blooms are showy, especially while backed by that fringe of vertical growing clumps of strappy greenery!

Hardy to the n-th degree, Agapanthus is truly a ‘plant-it-and-forget-it’ flowering perennial bulb! It will reward you with an overabundance of flowers all year round, but especially in the spring and summer. Not to worry, though, if you live anywhere north of USDA growing zone 8. Agapanthus make great potted plants for summer accents and décor. You just need to bring them indoors in the coldest months. Either way, these require very little in the way of maintenance!

Planting and Application:

Lily Of The Nile are show-stopping blooms that look great in the Pollinator border, upscale Cottage garden, or supplying you with armloads of blooms for your Cutting garden too! Think of the high-end-looking floral arrangements you will make for friends and family (or just yourself!) with these unearthly blue blooms! Agapanthus are Space-saving thrillers for patio pots, and balcony container gardens, and bump up the curb appeal of front porch planters!

The foliage and amazing blossoms look great in long rows and in groupings as facer plantings and edging throughout the growing season! Pot up on large planters and high-style pots to show off these gorgeous blooms in any location large or small! The grassy clumps of foliage make an unforgettable border when you plant them fringe for your Rose gardens, Perennial borders, and urban courtyards.

  • Cornflower Blue Trumpets in Large Round Umbles
  • Clump-Forming Green Strappy Leaves
  • Very Easy-Care & Low Maintenance
  • Pollinator & Hummingbird-Magnet!
  • Containers, Beds & Borders, Containers & Planters
  • Incredible Cut Flowers!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Agapanthus is a summer-flowering bulb that flowers best full sun and appreciates afternoon shade in the warmer growing zones. Provide consistent moisture in a deep, enriched and well-drained environment for best results. These bulbs will rot in excessive water so ensure containers and planters have good drainage. Prune back foliage once it yellows and dig bulbs up in colder growing zones and bring them indoors for the winter as you would Elephant Ear or Calla Lily.

  • Full Sun & Partial Shade
  • Any Well-Drained Soil Type
  • Moist Enriched Environments
  • Clean Mounds After Foliage Yellows & Lift Bulbs in Cold Zones
  • Hardy & Carefree Once Established

The elegant Lily of the Nile flowering bulb will add stunning beauty and gorgeous blue color to your landscape and planters this year! Order quality perennial flowering bulbs today from NatureHills.com!
