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.

Our plants are grown all over the country and lead time on items may be different because of this.

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.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Hydrangea prefers full sun in cooler climates and loves afternoon shade in hotter growing zones. Provide an evenly moist but well-drained soil that’s very well enriched. Then cover the soil with a thick layer of mulch. Prune out old flower heads and winter dieback in early spring as they start to grow, leaving young stems to rebloom.

Prune in Early Spring & Mulch Well

Durable and cute as can be, the Wee Bit Giddy® Bigleaf Hydrangea from Proven Winners® ColorChoice® will brighten your landscape without overpowering your garden!
