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.

An Elegant Native Shrub!

Pacific Wax Myrtle's scientific name - Myrica californica -  is a dead giveaway to which part of the country this hardy shrub does best. If you are a resident of the Golden State then you are probably already very familiar with this elegant native. This beauty is a versatile shrub that is fast growing and adds a certain 'wild structure' to your xeric or native garden.

A fast grower, this hardy evergreen is thickly covered in clean, glossy foliage and frosted with small purple berries that the birds adore. 

Pacific Wax Myrtle can be clipped as a tight hedge or allowed to grow to its full height as a natural windbreak or screen. This is a formidable ally in windswept coastal gardens to block both steady winds and unsightly views. Plant several in a row to create a formal hedge or a great background in native shrub borders or perennial beds.

Considering how lush Pacific Wax Myrtle is, it comes as a great surprise how drought tolerant it is, too. It survives on rain water most of the year, but enjoys a good deep watering during very extended heat to stay looking it absolute best.

As an added bonus, Pacific Wax Myrtle is sometimes called the California Bayberry and the highly aromatic leaves can be used like bay leaves in cooking.

Pacific Wax Myrtle is a great native plant! Order yours from us today.
