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.

The Purple Rain Allium (Allium 'Purple Rain') is a brilliant and bright purple selection of Ornamental Onion! Unlike the stinky edible kinds, Flowering Onions won't make your eyes water! Their brilliant blooms look like fireworks atop their tall slender stems.

Not only are Allium fantastic nectar-rich blooms for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, but Purple Rain lends unique spiky texture and vibrant color to your spring garden beds, containers, and floral bouquets! Carrying an easy-going informal and structural formal look as well as adding drama and whimsy anywhere they're planted!

Also known as the Star of Persia, Alliums appear in mid-late spring from among dense clumps of grassy foliage that carry the family oniony smell. As unique and textural in the garden, these are incredible blossoms for focal points in mixed containers, as solitary grouped specimens, or as the feature in a grand bouquet!

Planting and Application:

Purple Rain Allium wants to make you laugh and feel joy in the landscape with its fun and whimsical blooms! Allium is an absolute must for Children's Gardens, Cottage borders, or Rock gardens, and even perennial gardens and mixed shrub borders can gain unique pops of color when interspersed throughout these gardens!

Create incredible container gardens with these wide-spreading fillers, even a window box or planter will become fanciful with these additions! Any sunny patio planter, balcony, or terrace garden becomes something fanciful! Allium looks fantastic as a designer addition to garden borders, especially when used in long, uniform rows or groupings to dramatically highlight these intriguing blossoms!

  • Large Round Brilliant Purple Blooms Packed With Small Florets
  • Bright Green Onion Like Foliage
  • Summer Flowering Ornamental Onion
  • Pollinator & Amazing Cut Flowers
  • Great in Containers, Back Border, Vertical Interest & Specimens

#ProPlantTips for Care:

You'll have the most blooms in full sun when grown in cooler climates and appreciating partial shade (afternoon shade) in hot climates, any rich, well-drained soil is perfect for Allium. Fall-planted bulbs need moderate moisture needs. Any soil type is suitable so long as it is not soggy and add bulb fertilizer to each hole for best results. Despite being a member of the Onion family, there is no Onion smell unless the foliage is broken or crushed. Deadhead to remove spent blooms or try this trick - spray paint the dried seed heads any color you choose for unique garden décor for the rest of the summer and fall!

  • Full Sun For Strongest Growth
  • Well-Drained Soil Of Any Kind
  • Moderate Moisture Needs
