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.

Delivery and Shipping

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.

*If you have found your zone already, it will be highlighted in the table below.

One of the Best Hedge Plants on the Market!

Cherry Laurels are go-to hedge shrubs for landscape designers all across the country. The problem, though, is that laurels can get pretty huge and don't fit into many smaller modern gardens. Compact Carolina Cherry Laurel (Prunus caroliniana 'Compacta') takes care of that. It matures at half of the size of a regular Cherry Laurel so it easily fits in any space but still has all of the attributes that have made it so reliable.

Compact Carolina has broad glossy green leaves that stay on the shrub year-round. (To see where the shrub gets its name, crush a leaf in your hand and give it a whiff. The smell is like maraschino cherries!) In the spring and early summer, it blooms tons of fragrant, creamy-white candelabra-like flowers. These are followed by small black decorative berries.

Use this shrub liberally for a compact, versatile background plant in big beds or borders. They create a nice backdrop for interesting flowering shrubs or big bold perennials. They make a great privacy hedge and are thick enough for a solid privacy barrier or a windbreak.

Your Cherry Laurels can tolerate heat, drought, and wind with ease. (For those of you in fire-prone areas these are always on lists for firescaping landscapes.) You can let them grow naturally or shear them into cones or columns or rectangles - they won't flinch.

Every garden has a place for Cherry Laurel, especially when it is as perfectly-sized and reliable as Compact Carolina Cherry Laurel. Order yours today!

  • Large, glossy evergreen leaves
  • Scented spring flowers
  • Hedge, windbreak or screen
  • Great for fire-wise landscapes
