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.

A single specimen in your garden becomes a prominent focal point! Even in large planters, WINDWALKER® becomes a significant thriller!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
These hardy and colorful perennial Salvia are heat-and-humidity lovers that thrive in any well-drained, and even rocky, poor soil. Plant in full sun for the most blooms and strongest stems and branching. Water regularly with a moderate amount of water their first year, but once established, Salvia becomes very drought tolerant, only needing supplemental moisture during extended drought.
Plant with Nature Hills Root Booster and top-dress the area with 3-4 inches of arborist mulch for insulation, moisture retention, and to block weeds. Deadhead the blooms as they fade to encourage rebloom until frost, and prune back your entire mound in the very early spring. Salvia are clumping perennials that appreciate being divided every 3-5 years to maintain their vigor.
- Full Sun Perennials
- Well-Drained Soils
- Drought Tolerant Once Established
- Deadhead For Return Blooms & Prune Early Spring
- Hardy, Rabbit & Deer-Resistant
