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.

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.

Straight A™ Barley Blue Lily of the Nile (Agapanthus praecox 'Barley Blue') rises above the lush mound of the strappy, deep-green rosettes, and sends off light blue firework flowers. It looks to be shooting off and bursting throughout the garden!

Calling butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, these sun-worshiping clusters of blooms emerge in early spring and bloom throughout the growing season.

Evergreen in warmer climates, Straight A™ Barley Blue Agapanthus also works fantastic as annuals, porch plants or stored much as you would Dahlia and Canna Lily for those living in cooler weather climates.

How to Use Straight A™ Barley Blue Lily of the Nile In The Landscape

Straight A™ Barley Blue has such a formal and unique form, when blooming or not, that it works with almost any style garden.

Intermingling throughout your perennial beds and borders beautifully, try mixing into a quirky cottage garden. The foliage alone looks great when planted in uniform, repeating rows in a modern courtyard, or as facer plants and seasonal edging!

Imagine a large planting of blue stars as a specimen or a ring of Agapanthus to call attention to your outdoor sculptures or other accent trees and shrubs!

Agapanthus is a hit indoors as well, filling vases with long-lasting blooms and cutting the stems encourages more flowering.

If you are fortunate enough to live in growing zones 8 and up, you'll be able to enjoy Lily of the Nile as a lush groundcover and filler plant among your other garden residents. Easily add the designer's touch to your gardens!

Firing off among your other bulbs, shooting up from among groundcovers and lighting up mix-plantings, Agapanthus Barley Blue brings the show to you every year!

An amazing accent or thriller plant in containers and planters, your patios will never be the same! Light up pollinator gardens and cutting gardens with these vivid sparklers!

The deep green leaves are amazing backdrops among your flowers and perennials even when not in bloom to further highlight the garden border!

Bloomables® Barley Blue's blue flowers and strong stems are repeat bloomers that will enchant the garden pollinators, so be sure to plant it close by where you can observe your many winged visitors!

#ProPlantTips For Care

Straight A™ Barley Blue Lily of the Nile shines in full sun and some part sun as well! The deep-green leaves won't shrink in the heat or humidity and their compact habit won't disappoint you.

The showy light-blue flowers prefer average moisture and well-drained soil for best results. A generous layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture as well as insulate the root system from heat and chill.

Deer tend to leave Lily of the Nile alone so no worry about damage. Evergreen in warmer climates, there are few other plants in the garden this sensational!
