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.

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Plant your Elaeagnus in a full-sun location, and these broad-leaf evergreens need well-drained soil. Keep your eyes on your shrub throughout its first year and give it a deep watering as needed so you'll get the fastest growth. You won't need to worry about it after that first year. This is a very easy care, drought-tolerant plant once it's established. Elaeagnus can be pruned once a year to keep it smaller after it's done flowering. Deer leave it alone unless they are completely desperate.
