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.

Contrasts are cool! They are eye-catching, vibrant, and never boring! Think of zebra stripes, soft-drink logos, and Warhol paintings. Things that play off of each other often play well together, too!

The Sugar and Spice Arborvitae PP#19926 (Thuja plicata 'De Rakt') is a study in contrasts! The foliage is finely textured for an almost feathery, fluffy look in a dreamy creamy green! The stems are cinnamon-brown and rough textured and we couldn't imagine them any other way!

Sugar and Spice Arborvitaes keeps its great conical shape on its own and you won't need to worry about it losing its color. It is a hardy evergreen that won't disappoint you Growing throughout USDA planting zones 5 to 8, and grows 7 - 10 feet in height and just 1 - 4 feet wide.

Landscape Application:

Sugar and Spice is a perfect shrub for smaller urban gardens where a full-sized Thuja would crowd everything else out. They look great singly as specimen plants or in groups as a hedge. Bulk up a windbreak or mixed shrub border, or create your own privacy planting that looks great on both sides of the fence line.

Try them in a large mixed planting container or flanking a doorway or gate. They can be viewed from a distance or right up close and are fascinating either way. Sugar and Spice Arborvitae will add depth and architectural beauty to your garden with very little care.

  • Fluffy Bright Green Feathery Soft Foliage
  • Aromatic Foliage
  • Conical Natural Shape
  • Creamy Green Foliage Over Cinnamon Brown Bark
  • Great In Planters & Small Yards
  • Specimens, Hedges, Privacy, Windbreaks & Bird-Friendly Habitat

#ProPlantTips for Care:

This easy-to-care-for evergreen prefers full to partial sun exposure in a well-drained soil site. Provide regular moisture throughout the first year in the ground but once established, they become drought resistant. Top-dress with a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch around the root zone but not piled up against the trunk. You won't need to prune it for it to keep its natural shape but light pruning can be performed to shape your shrub or remove winter dieback.

  • Boldly Goes Where Other Thuja Fail
  • Full Sun
  • Well-Drained Soil
  • Moderate Moisture Needs - Low Once Established
  • Prune After Flush Of Spring Growth
  • Not High On Deer Nibble Lists
