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.

Dinner Plate™ Cupcake Japanese Iris (Iris ensata 'Cupcake') produces large, six-inch pure white ruffled, broad-petaled blossoms with splashes and streaks of lavender and yellow for a glorious effect as they gleam in the sun! Looking like a creamy dollop of white frosting, these are fantastic long-stem blooms and the foliage looks great until frost!

Japanese Iris bloom from early to mid-summer, calling butterflies and beneficial pollinators from far and wide! These enormous blooms will have a few passersby stopping to ogle them as well! They form dense clumps of vertical rich green blades of foliage for upright texture.

Dinner Plate™ Cupcake can get 2-3 feet tall and wide, readily fitting into existing garden layouts, containers and planters, and small spaces with ease! Preferring well-drained wet soil and very moist garden environments, any area that isn’t stagnant will suit these perennial rhizomes just fine!

Planting and Application:

Dinner Plate™ looks divine in a cottage and perennial gardens! But you’ll want to plant a few extras in your pollinator and cutting gardens too! Bring these fantastic focal points indoors for your bouquets, snipping them when they’re barely opening for a long-lasting display! Ideal accents and thrillers in container water gardens and moist planters, any sunny porch or patio can include these fantastic accents!

Cupcake Japanese Iris is a type of Iris that requires continually moist soils, and thrives in damp borders, pond or stream edges. Create a garden at the end of the gutters or a Rain Garden. Create a moist patio garden, or en masse as erosion control along stream banks.

  • Wide Open White Petals
  • Purple Streaks & Golden-Yellow Accents
  • Vertical Textured Green Blades
  • Pollinators, Cutting Gardens & Containers
  • Loves Wet-Moist Soil

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Japanese Iris rhizomes do best in full sun in cooler zones but appreciate just a touch of afternoon shade in hotter climates. They prefer being planted in very well-drained moist to wet soils.

  • Best in Moist/Wet Well-Drained Soil
