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 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 Beautiful Wood Fern (Dryopteris pulcherrima) is a recent variety of Fern with the most luxuriously fine-cut fronds that are soft and delicate! The feathery texture adds a graceful and elegant beauty that only something with the name Beautiful can impart to the shade garden!

In Latin, pulcherrima means "beautiful", and once you see this new variety of Fern, you're sure to understand the reason for its name! This shade-tolerant, hardy perennial Fern features richly green, arching fronds with an elegant spreading informal vase shape.

Wood Ferns are heat and drought-tolerant, with an evergreen nature that ensures year-round interest! Hardy throughout USDA planting zones 6-9, they may be semi-evergreen or perennial after an especially cold winter. Maturing into 2-foot tall and wide fountains of green finery!

Planting and Application:

Beautiful Wood Fern has a light, airy appearance and is perfect for beneath shade trees or other empty spots where you'd like something vibrant and green to fill the space. Plant some of these around trees, shrubs or anywhere you'd love some lovely, evergreen groundcover.

The Beautiful Wood Fern would make a lovely choice for any shade garden or understory beneath a canopy of trees or the shady side of your home! Versatile and hardy, Wood Ferns are sure to please you whether you use them as a groundcover, in containers, or as an accent!

Ferns are rabbit and deer-resistant and are great for out-of-the-way wooded areas and edges of your property without worry of damage. Create shady garden glens and woodland drifts with these versatile shade garden plants! You'll gain cool and refreshing beauty where bare ground once lay.

This groundcover Fern is very striking when planted in large groups and allowed to naturalize freely en masse.

  • Rich Green Fine-Cut Lacy Foliage
  • Evergreen In Mild Winter Climates
  • Lush Year-Round Garden Finery
  • Great Container Plant
  • En Masse, Groundcover, Edging & Shade-Gardens

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Wood Ferns are easy to grow and thrives in moist, rich, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Handling heat and humidity fine, these Ferns do not like drying out too much, so be ready to provide supplemental moisture during prolonged heat and drought conditions. Top-dress with compost and 3-4 inches of arborist mulch to keep the roots cool, hold moisture, and block weed competition.

Divide plants in the early spring before new growth emerges. In spring before new growth begins, tidy up the mounds by removing or gently raking away any old, dead debris.

  • Full Shade & Part Sun
  • Impressively Heat & Humidity Tolerant
  • Any Well-Drained Rich Soil
  • Moderate to High Moisture
  • Deer & Rabbit-Resistant Easy-Care & Low-Maintenance
