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.

What's the latest sensation in the allium world? The Purple Sensation Allium (Allium 'Purple Sensation') is back on the scene and remains an easy-to-grow purple dream. This heirloom ornamental allium may not be the biggest, tallest, or showiest but it has unsurpassable merit of its own. This joyous and exciting plant is often considered more versatile than the other large Alliums.

Before the Purple Sensation has a chance to bloom, the spring-flowering Purple Sensation is shining bright and lights up the garden. Its flamboyant ball of flowers and brilliant orchid-purple florets really come alive against the sky. Your local pollinators will be coming in for visits as well!

This fun Allium isn't just appreciated for its long-lasting blooms, many gardeners appreciate its heart-shaped broad leaves that look similar to a Hosta's. Use Purple Sensation as a one-of-a-kind floral bouquet. They also make a perfect purple focal point when planted as a middle border or in a cottage garden!

Planting and Application:

The Purple Sensation Allium blooms in early spring and it will grace your garden with color for several weeks! And once the blooms fade, its spunky seedhead remains. Create a fun garden by spray painting these seed heads in colorful paint to create unique garden 'art'! Plus Purple Sensation Allium is an absolute must for Rock gardens, Cottage gardens, or gardens where kids are invited to play and learn.

For formal plantings, Alliums are amenable to more structured and with architectural stature. Plant evenly distributed clumps in front of a backdrop of evergreens or in rows along your paths and walkways! They add height as a back border or as an accent for architectural interest.

Pair your Purple Sensations with other spring and summer blooms. They look great with Iris, Fritillaria, and other assorted flowers that come in a wide array of heights and colors! Make a statement by lining the path to your door with Alliums, your guests will feel like they entered a fantasy land! Create incredible container gardens with these vertical thrillers, even a window box or planter will become fanciful with these additions! Any sunny patio planter, balcony, or terrace garden becomes something magical!

  • Large Round Purple Blooms
  • Earliest Large Allium Variety to Bloom
  • Heirloom Perennial Bulb
  • Provide Attractive Foliage
  • Pollinator & Amazing Cut Flowers
  • Great in Containers, Back Border, Vertical Interest & Specimens

#ProPlantTips for Care:

These showy and fun Alliums reach their full potential in full sun and fast-draining soil. Fall-planted bulbs need well-drained soil with 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. Their blooms last for weeks and they naturalize and spread over time unless you deadhead after the flowers fade. Deadhead after flowers fade, but let the leaves remain so they can make food for the bulb and next year's flowers! Once the foliage yellows in the summer or fall, you can then prune it to the ground.

  • Full Sun For Strongest Growth
  • Well-Drained Soil
  • Moderate Moisture Needs
  • Deadhead After Flowers Fade & Prune Mounds After Leaves Yellow
  • Deer Seldom Bother Them

These tall, strong plants are sure to make a buzz when they bloom in spring. Don't miss your opportunity to create a sensation with your very own Purple Sensation Alliums. Order your Purple Sensation Alliums now and Nature Hills will ship your plants at the proper planting time!
