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.

Long Lived Appalachian Mountain Native

The Carolina Silverbell tree, Halesia carolina, also known as Mountain Silverbell, Snowdrop tree, and Opossum Wood, is common and reaches its greatest size in the southern Appalachian Mountains where it is called Mountain Silverbell.

This attractive shrub or small tree grows in moist soils along streams in the understory of hardwood forests. Its fall color is chartreuse to yellow-brown, and it has a moderate growth rate and lives about 100 years!

Place in full sun to partial shade with well drained soil. This deciduous tree has soft wood and it is close-grained and a favorite wood for crafts.

It can be a very attractive tree and single or multi-trunked with low, ascending branching. The seeds are eaten by squirrels and the flowers provide honey for bees.

The pendulous bell-shaped white flowers that appear in the spring, and the small size of this tree, make it desirable for landscaping!
