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.

In late winter, you will smell the Fragrant Valley Sweetbox (Sarcococca humilis 'Sarsid1') long before you see it. It helps to wake up the garden after the long winter. With its very strong Hyacinth-like scent, the Fragrant Valley Sweetbox is a perfect harbinger of spring!

This sweet little broadleaf evergreen shrub is much smaller than other Sweetbox shrubs, but it is a quick spreader to 3 feet across. It is densely covered in well-branched, deep green narrow-leaved foliage that gives it a finer texture than other Sweetbox and a lushly full look!

The flowers become red, bird-friendly berries that have added interest to your landscape! Sarcococca is very disease resistant and both deer and rabbits steer clear. It is easy to grow and easy to maintain!

Landscape Application:

Because the foliage is so pretty, Fragrant Valley is attractive year-round, but in late winter, when it is dotted with white blooms, it really sings in the shade garden. The blooms last for several weeks and perfume the whole landscape! Park your favorite reading chair or an entire seating area near a hedge of these shrubs for some added privacy too!

Fragrant Valley makes a grand statement when massed! We've seen beautiful ribbons of evergreen color under trees and in woodland gardens made of Fragrant Valley. Because of its low growth habit, it doesn't require any much pruning, either.

  • Hyacinth-Like Scented Winter/Early Spring Bloom
  • Glossy Slender Broadleaf Evergreen Foliage
  • Early Emerging Pollinator Friendly
  • Low-Growing Year-Round Greenery
  • Low Privacy, Hedges, & Dry Shade Tolerant Groundcover

#ProPlantTips for Care

Tolerant of full shade and partial shade locations throughout USDA planting zones 6 to 8. Fragrant Valley Sweetbox is a great plant for challenging areas like dry shade once established. Get your shrub on the right foot by planting it in a well-drained location with regular water their first year or so in the ground. Mulch around the root system supports the plant year-round. Prune your shrub after the flowers fade to keep your shrub tidy.

  • Full Shade to Partial Shade

  • Moderate to Low Moisture Needs
  • Disease & Deer Resistant, Bird Friendly
  • Easy Care & Hardy
