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.

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Japanese Holly does best in full sun and partial shade. Not finicky with soil type and rarely needing pruning, Patti O Box® does need well-drained soil with moderate fertility to do her best. If pruning is desired, do so in the spring after the first flush of growth. A 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch over the root system helps maintain moisture and insulation year-round.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Any Type of Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate Moisture Needs
- Salt Tolerant & Seldom Bothered By Deer
- Rarely Requires Pruning - Prune After First Flush of Growth
