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.

Make the most of your landscaping with a small, low-growing plant that gives you interest spring, summer and fall! The Ground Hug® Aronia (Aronia melanocarpa 'UCONNAM012' PP31821) is a superior Chokeberry shrub that stays low, but spreads wide!

It is covered with sweet white flowers in springtime, many local pollinators will get their fill of the nectar-rich blooms. All season long, Ground Hug looks crisp and fresh with rounded, glossy, green leaves.

This little plant has a big personality, growing low to the ground but giving you a nice spread. It is a real champ in tough conditions. Don't forget about the fall color display! The leaves turn an amazing burnished purple as the nights get colder.

Planting and Application:

You'll polish up the edges of your planting beds, and fill wide, open areas as these ground-hugging shrubs fill in all the hard-to-mow hillsides and slopes, stopping erosion as they grow! Use these ground covering plants to suppress weeds in an attractive way. Include it at the edge of street plantings, sidewalks and driveways where the salt spray won't bother it. Use as edging, rock gardens, rain gardens, filler and more!

And of course, this is an Aronia! It produces an edible harvest of antioxidant-rich dark berries that are extremely healthy Superfruit for you. Birds love them, too, if you don't get around to harvesting them. People interested in edible landscaping should layer these groundcovers in the foreground of their garden beds.

  • Sweet White Blooms in Spring & Incredible Purple Fall Color
  • Superfruit Black Berries Are Tart & Very Healthy
  • Late Season Harvest
  • Low-Growing, Easy-Care Spreading Groundcover
  • Supports Local Butterflies & Birds

#ProPlantTips for Care:

You'll get the most fruit in full sun, but Ground Hug can handle part shade too! Go ahead, plant it in either acidic or alkaline soil, or poor soil as long as it drains well, and let it fill into a dense mat for you. It is extremely cold hardy and tolerant of high heat and humidity, plus salt spray won't bother it either!

  • Performs in Full Sun or Partial Shade
  • Cold Hardy & Heat Tolerant
  • Deer, Drought & Salt Resistant
  • Moist to Dry, Mulched Well-Drained Soil
  • Prune When Dormant
