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.

Azalea Planting & Care Guide
Azaleas require well-drained, slightly acidic soil with 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. In hot summer Zones 9 - 10, please give them afternoon shade.
Apply a three-inch layer of pine straw over the root zone to keep it cool and moist, pulling it away from directly touching the stems. Don't plant Azaleas too deeply...keep the soil at the same level they grew in at the nursery, or mound up to improve drainage.
- Full Sun Azalea Bush - Tolerates Partial/Afternoon Shade
- Prefers Slightly Acidic Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate Moisture Needs
- Low-Maintenance & High Performance
- Disease-Resistant Azalea - Lace Bug Resistant
