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

The summer blooming continues to dazzle and draw pollinators to your landscape as the blooms change color. Even as the fall season progresses, the blooms dry and remain on the shrub for a fantastic winter show!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Panicle Hydrangeas do their very best and have the strongest stems in full sun, but French Manicure™ tolerates part shade as well! Plant Hydrangea in enriched, well-drained soils, and a 3-4 inch layer of mulch over the surface, should be all that is needed to keep this plant happy. A simple once-a-year pruning job in early spring before it starts to grow is all that is needed. Prune off the old blooms and shorten up any branches needed to give the plant a nice rounded form in the size you like.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Enriched Well-Drained Soil
- Consistent Water Needs
- Appreciates Mulched Beds
- Blooms on New Wood - Prune in Very Early Spring
A finishing touch of elegance, the French Manicure™ Panicle Hydrangea shrub is just the specimen plant for your landscape and your bouquets! Hurry and order this new NatureHills.com exclusive flowering shrub today before they're sold out!
