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.

Floating Fragrance

This prolific, award-winning Water Lily is a customer favorite because of its very long blooming season. The unique salmon-colored flowers stand 3 inches to 4 inches above the water's surface and bloom late into the season with a pleasant fragrance. The flowers rise high above the dark green foliage, which makes them particularly striking from a distance!

A truly astonishing water lily, "Colorado' was hybridized by Dr. Kirk Strawn in 1994, and it is very free flowering.

This Water Lily grows best in full to partial sun. We recommend growing 'Colorado' in a 7.5 quart or larger container (available from naturehills.com). Also available from naturehills.com is Aquatic Planting Media and Lilytabs Water Lily Fertilizer.

This may be the hardiest Water Lily you will ever grow! With 5 hours of direct sun, it will consistently out-perform other hardy Lilies. The flowers are magnificent, large, and relatively long-lasting.

Cannot be shipped to: CA, MT, OR, WA or WY.
