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.

*If you have found your zone already, it will be highlighted in the table below.

Darling groundcover and trailing vine, Periwinkle (Vinca minor) is also known as Trailing Myrtle, Dwarf Periwinkle and Creeping Myrtle. This species of Periwinkle is one of the most popular and widely used ground covers! Plus you and your local butterflies will adore the purple blooms, as well as its easy-going and carefree nature!

Trailing stems with smooth, evergreen foliage up to 1.5" long, root at the nodes as they go along the ground and quickly spread to form an attractive ground cover. Tubular, lavender-blue, phlox-like flowers that can reach up to 1 inch across, appear in the leaf axils in spring and continue to flower intermittently throughout summer into fall! The glossy green foliage is bright and the entire plant remains low-growing!

This evergreen perennial is similar in all ways to Vinca Major except the flower is a little smaller. Hardy in USDA growing zones 4 through 9, these act as tender perennials and regrow from the ground each spring. Widely adaptable for sun through shade and highly tolerant of any well-drained soil type and moisture availability.

Planting and Application:

Fantastic as groundcover and erosion control, plant 12-18" apart to cover large areas, the tops of retaining walls, hard-to-mow slopes and hillsides. Cover large areas of bare ground or tricky soil where nothing else seems to thrive in all conditions from sun to shade.

Great for acting as living mulch and winding around larger shrubs and perennials, or in Rock gardens and rambling over retaining walls and tiered gardens. Also great additions to window boxes, containers and planters as a creeping and trailing addition! Let ramble over the sides of urns while surrounding a central specimen plant or tree, giving an elegant and formal effect!

  • Long Trailing Green Leaves
  • Lovely Purple Blossoms
  • Lavender Blue Flowers Throughout the Season
  • Evergreen or Perennial Vine
  • Container Spiller, Groundcover, Cascading & Erosion Control

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Easily grown in average, dry to medium wet, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade, Vinca tolerates full shade, but it prefers moist, humusy soils in part shade. Prune when dormant in late winter or early spring.

  • Full Sun, Part Sun/Shade & Full Shade
  • Dry or Moist Soils in Part Shade
  • Any Well-Drained Soil
  • Prune in Winter or Early Spring
  • Evergreen in Warm Climates

For low-maintenance greenery and groundcover that's elegant and cascading, while being tough-as-nails, you can't go wrong with the darling Periwinkle Vinca Vine available at NatureHills.com today!
