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.

Boxwood Care & Maintenance
Plant Boxwood with Nature Hills Root Booster for lifelong symbiotic root system support.
- Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to partial shade. Provide morning sun and some afternoon shade in hotter climates.
- Soil: Prefers well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil. Avoid waterlogged areas.
- Watering: Water regularly during the first year to establish roots. Once established, it becomes drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional deep watering.
- Pruning: Prune lightly in late spring after new growth appears. For a natural look, minimal pruning is needed.
- Mulching: Apply a 3-4 inch layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and protect roots from temperature extremes.
- Winter Watering: Give plants subjected to drying northern winds an application of wilt-stop and a long drink before winter to prevent windburn.
