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
Strongest and the most dramatic in full sun, these just glow! Imagine seeing the rising or setting sun backlight these fronds from behind is breathtaking!
Adaptable to salt, drought and wet winter soil, these are cold hardy, deer and rabbit-resistant plus, highly pest and disease-free! Miscanthus requires well-drained soil but becomes highly drought-tolerant once established. Easy-to-grow, Maiden Grass is cold hardy in USDA hardiness zones 5 through 10.
Warm-season grasses won't grow until the soil temperature warms so have patience. Prune each year cutting all foliage to just a few inches before growth starts to appear in early spring and remove built-up leaves and debris from the center. The plumes are not fertile so reseeding isn't an issue with Scout™.
