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.

Rabbit resistance

Have a rabbit problem? Plant the Silver Mound! I have rabbits galore and this plant seems to escape their attention. I have noticed this for several years now, so I am pretty sure the Silver Mound is not a favorite food for them.

Hello Joe,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the Silver Mound! We're delighted to hear that this lovely, soft-textured plant has successfully stayed off the radar of your frequent rabbit visitors. It’s always great to know our plants not only add beauty but also offer practical benefits like natural pest resistance.

If you’re interested in expanding your rabbit-resistant garden, some other great options include lavender, rosemary, and ornamental grasses—these plants seem to repel rabbits too and can complement the Silver Mound beautifully. Additionally, maintaining a perimeter with plants they tend to avoid may help create a deterrent zone around your garden.

Feel free to reach out if you’d like more tips on attracting beneficial wildlife or managing gardening challenges. Thanks again for your thoughtful review!

Rooting for your garden’s success,
Your Nature Hills Plant Care Team
