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.

Perennial bulbs are perfect for the novice gardener, or anyone with a small yard, just plant them and they'll bloom every year, multiplying and forming tidy clumps and groupings on their own over time without ever taking over your garden beds! These upscale beauties can be used as an annual in growing zones they're not hardy in.
Planting and Application:

Add unique blooms to rock gardens or plant them in rows along gardens as edging and low border plants. They are perfect for bouquets, so they are an absolute must-have for the cutting garden!
Force for winter décor or plant in protected planters where the ground won't freeze solid for fantastic color by your front entry, porch or patio! Mix among other spring bulbs or intersperse among larger perennials and shrubs without worrying about their roots crowding each other out.

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Fall-planted bulbs should be planted in the fall 6 to 8 weeks before a hard freeze. Each bulb should be planted pointed end upward and at least 8 inches deep. The location should be mulched, well-drained and in full to partial sun. Parrot Tulips do not like wet soil so water only when planting if it gets very dry in the fall or during prolonged drought.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Moderate Moisture
- Well-Drained Enriched Site
- Deadhead After Bloom Fades
- Cannot Tolerate Soggy Conditions
