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.

Shrubs work so hard in your landscape, and we are thrilled to offer such a diverse catalog of amazing choices online. If you want a workhorse with personality, and incredible large, red blooms from summer to fall...come take at look!

Modern plant breeders have taken the best features of a native shrub and added a "high-octane" boost of reblooming flower power. Aphrodite Sweetshrub (Calycanthus x 'Aphrodite' PP# 24,014) delivers charming deep red, Magnolia-shaped flowers that keep on coming.

Decorate your space with these exceptional shrubs. They'll thrive in full sun or partial shade, and produce blooms on both old wood from last year and the new wood from this year.

You'll appreciate their superior performance and ornamental features. They are field-tested for many years by the Proven Winners® team.

Use their lush, glossy foliage as a helpful screening plant as a respite from the hustle-bustle modern world. After all, garden designers count on this rare plant to provide definition in their clients garden plans.

Starting in summer, new blooms with long, strappy petals open with a pineapple-strawberry scent. Their luscious fragrance is most pronounced in full sun when the temperatures are high.

Stunningly sophisticated, Aphrodite blossoms are a bold brick-red with creamy-white tips on the interior petals. Hummingbirds and butterflies will lavish their attention, coming back again and again to sip the nectar.

Use them in high end cut flower arrangements. They make a delightful contrasting accent with elegant summertime blooms of Liatris or late-season Hydrangea.

Even if you are renting, you can get much-needed privacy and pretty blooms. Grow Aphrodite Sweetshrub in an oversized resin container on your balcony or porch.

How to Use Aphrodite Sweetshrub in the Landscape

Use plants to expand the amount of living space you enjoy on your property. People across the country are making garden rooms and backyard living areas.

Steal space from a little used side yard! Sling up a private hammock and stand; shielded from view with a hedge of Aphrodite Sweetshrub.

Plant them as living walls of a garden room. Consider the big, dark red blooms to be an up-to-date version of outdoor wallpaper in an outdoor dining room.

Take time for a Zen moment with walls of Aphrodite Sweetshrub to support a personal Meditation Garden. Include one of our knockout Japanese Maples as a generous focal point.

Run three or more right behind your entertainment area. They can also be positioned further away, as an impactful backdrop for a curated collection of Hybrid Tea Roses close by your outdoor seating.

Attractive Aphrodite Sweetshrub is an easy plant to grow and maintain. Use it as a "friendly fence" along the property line. The neighbors will love it as much as you do!

Include it on the outskirts of a planned Rain Garden. Trap and filter potentially polluted water runoff from streets and roofs using the power of plants.

This is also a wonderful choice to use as a taller layer in a mixed shrub border. Include plenty of pollinator-friendly flowering plants to do your part to support local ecology.

#ProPlantTips for Care

Plant them in at least four hours of sunlight a day. The more sun…the more blooms!

These rugged plants grow best in moist, well-drained soil conditions. Supply a moderate amount of water on a regular basis.

Mulch over the root system to keep them nice and cool. Always pull mulch back away from directly touching the stems.

Prune to shape after the flowering is done. Or...snip a few flowering branches near the end of the season to enjoy in tall vases indoors.

Fertilize in early spring with an organic, slow-release fertilizer. Follow the application rate on the label.
