Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Easily grown in average, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade, especially in hotter climates. It tolerates a wide range of soils and prefers humid weather with regular rains. In hot and dry weather, periodic, deep waterings are advisable and a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch maintains moisture consistency and insulates the root system. Rarely needing pruning, remove crossing branches, wayward growth, and winter dieback. Give these shrubs a good long drink before winter to help prevent windburn.
- Wide Range Of Sun & Soil Tolerances
- Moderate Moisture Needs
- Prune If Needed In Spring
- Slow Growing, Won't Outgrow It's Space
- Easy To Grow!
