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.

Magnificently eye-popping! The Emerald Blue Creeping Phlox (Phlox subulata "Emerald Blue') is an ideal ground cover with dark blue flowers and a thick mat of semi-evergreen foliage. Emerald Blue may also be called Creeping Phlox or Moss Phlox.

Blooming from April to May, it is a great addition to any perennial garden. The attractive lavender-blue blooms fit in with any and every color in your garden making it stand out amongst the crowd. Most of that crowd will be hungry early emerging pollinators and visiting Hummingbirds in the spring!

Emerald Blue is deer resistant making your life a lot easier! On top of that, the flowers are also perfumed! This plant can be described as dense, low-growing, and mat-forming as it spreads to form a flowering carpet of beauty! Cold and heat-tolerant throughout USDA growing zones 3 -9, Creeping Phlox can reach a 6-12 inch height and 2-3 feet low-growing width.

Planting and Application:

No more days of boring and dull spots in your garden because this flower is ready to bring life and brightness to your garden. Your garden expectations are about to be completely blown away! Cottage gardens, Children's Garden, Bulb Gardens, Perennial Borders, and Pollinator gardens all benefit greatly from these darling waves of spring pinwheels! Even containers and planters gain a vivid spring spiller!

Use your Emerald Blue Creeping Phlox in rock gardens, as a spread over curbs and short retaining walls, or in difficult edges of dry streambeds. These vivid perennials look great rambling through a Rock Gardens or Crevis Garden or as living mulch/groundcover. Plant along the edges of a hot sunny walkway or path, or along the edges of sun garden beds and borders! Even slopes and hard-to-mow hillsides in the sun gain a carpet of erosion slowing beauty!

  • Blue Flowers With a Dark Blue-Purple Eye
  • Masses of Tiny Blue Flowers on 6" Groundcover
  • Dark Purple Eye in Each Flower
  • Incredible in Mass Planting
  • Adored by Beneficial Pollinators

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Emerald Blue Creeping Phlox needs to be planted in a full sun area in well-drained soil for the best growth possible. Provide moderate yet consistent moisture for new plants their first year, but after, these plants are very self-sufficient. Provide moisture during times of drought and extreme heat, and to further help with moisture retention, add a 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch over the soil surface. Prune/shear mounds immediately after flowering and remove up to a third of the top growth for a clean start.

  • Full Sun
  • Well-Drained Enriched Soil
  • Moderate Moisture
  • Prune After Flowering
  • Very Easy Care

This flowering perennial is positively striking in the spring and will effortlessly make a difference in your landscaping. Order your very own striking Emerald Blue Creeping Phlox today! This is a fan favorite and won't last long!
