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.

Butterfly Flowers!

Fortnight Lilies (Dietes bicolor) have dainty flowers that look almost like butterflies hovering over the strappy leaves. But don't let that daintiness fool you. These are one of the toughest and easiest plants to grow in your zone 8-10 garden.

They look exotic and almost tropical, but they can withstand inland heat and even an occasional hard frost. This is a great all-purpose plant to use in your sunny beds and borders. It is green year round and covered with flowers all summer.

The flowers are a pale shade of buttercream yellow and are highlighted by dark maroon blotches. They are pretty during the day, but positively glow in the evening when many other garden flowers are fading in the darkness.

Fortnight Lilies are drought resistant and are used throughout the Southwest in dry gardens, but they also love being by streams and ponds, too. They take the desert heat and the coastal cool with equal stride. Water to establish them, and then they are very drought tolerant once established.

Don't have a lot of space? That's ok, too, because these tough beauties will thrive in a big pot on the patio or balcony as easily as in the garden.

If you live in an area that requires fire-preventive landscaping, then you'll definitely want to add Fortnight Lily to your garden. It is in the short-list of fire resistant landscape plants.

This great plant will reward you with season after season of easy-care color and style. Order yours today!
