Plant Sentry™
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.

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Bloomables® Spirea are tough plants that tolerate nearly any full sun location. Tolerating a wide range of well-drained soils and even urban environments, as long as the site is well-drained and not soggy, these shrubs do fantastic in your landscape! Then, once established, these shrubs are xeric and drought tolerant! But for the healthiest shrubs, provide regular moisture in times of need. Prune after the flowers have faded to shape and control size, and shearing/deadheading will encourage repeat blooming, but it's generally carefree!
- Tough Tolerant & Loves Full Sun
- Moderate to Low Moisture Needs Once Established
- Most Types of Well-Drained Soil & Appreciates & Mulched Beds
- Prune/Deadhead After Flowering
- Deer Resistant & Cold Hardy
- Very Easy To Grow & Low-Maintenance
