Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find the right plants for my climate, sunlight, and soil conditions when shopping online?

Nature Hills Nursery makes it straightforward to match plants to your growing conditions by filtering selections by USDA Hardiness Zone, sun exposure, and soil type directly on the website. Each plant page includes detailed information on zone compatibility, mature size, light requirements, and soil preferences so you can confirm a plant suits your yard before adding it to your cart. Start by identifying your USDA Hardiness Zone using the zip code lookup tool, then use the site filters to narrow results by sunlight needs and soil drainage to find plants perfectly suited to your specific landscape.

How do I use Shop Pay to buy plants and spread out the cost of a large landscaping order?

To use Shop Pay at Nature Hills, simply select it as your payment method at checkout and your saved details will allow you to complete your order in a single tap. If you have a large landscaping order, such as a collection of Japanese Maples, Green Giant Arborvitae, or Hydrangea bushes, Shop Pay gives you the option to split the total into manageable installments so you can plant your full vision now rather than in phases. This is especially useful during peak planting seasons in spring and fall when inventory on popular trees and shrubs moves quickly. Head to naturehills.com, fill your cart, and select Shop Pay at checkout to get started with flexible payment options today.

How often should I water newly purchased plants, and how much water is enough?

Newly purchased plants typically need water every 1 to 2 days for the first few weeks while their roots establish, then gradually transition to a deeper watering schedule of 2 to 3 times per week. A general rule is to apply water slowly until the soil is moist to a depth of 8 to 12 inches, which encourages roots to grow downward rather than staying shallow. In hotter zones like 7 through 10, or during summer heat, you may need to water daily to prevent stress. Check soil moisture by pressing a finger 2 to 3 inches into the ground, and water when it feels dry at that depth rather than following a rigid calendar schedule.

How do I choose the right location for a new garden bed or landscaping project?

Choosing the right location starts with observing how sunlight moves across your yard throughout the day, as most flowering shrubs, fruit trees, and perennials need at least six hours of direct sun to thrive. Check your USDA Hardiness Zone at the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map website to ensure the plants you select are suited to your regional climate and temperature ranges. Soil drainage is equally important, so dig a test hole about twelve inches deep, fill it with water, and confirm it drains within an hour before committing to a planting spot. Start by mapping your sun exposure, confirming your hardiness zone, and testing drainage before purchasing plants so you set your new garden bed up for long-term success.

How do I care for trees and shrubs after they arrive so they survive and thrive?

While plant care after arrival is not covered in our Shop Pay guide, Nature Hills includes detailed care instructions with every order. In general, unbox your plants promptly, water them thoroughly, and allow them to acclimate in a shaded area for a day or two before planting, especially during hot weather. Visit the individual plant page on naturehills.com for species-specific guidance on planting depth, watering schedules, and hardiness zone compatibility for your region.

How do I start seeds indoors and harden off seedlings before transplanting them outside?

Starting seeds indoors typically begins 6 to 8 weeks before your last expected frost date, using a sterile seed-starting mix in trays placed under grow lights set 2 to 3 inches above the seedlings for 14 to 16 hours per day. Once seedlings develop their second set of true leaves and outdoor temperatures stay consistently above 50 degrees Fahrenheit, begin the hardening-off process by setting them outside in a sheltered, partly shaded spot for just 1 to 2 hours on the first day, gradually increasing outdoor exposure over 7 to 10 days before leaving them out overnight. Browse Nature Hills for transplant-ready starter plants if you want to skip the seed stage and get a head start on your growing season.

How much mulch should I use around new plantings, and which type works best?

That question falls outside what we cover here, but as a general rule, apply 2 to 3 inches of mulch around new plantings, keeping it a few inches away from the base of stems and trunks to prevent rot. Shredded hardwood or wood chip mulch works well for most trees and shrubs, while finely shredded bark suits perennials and smaller plants. Visit your local cooperative extension service for region-specific mulching recommendations suited to your growing zone.

How do I fertilize plants correctly without overfeeding or burning them?

This question falls outside the scope of our Shop Pay checkout guide, but it is a great one for any gardener. As a general rule, always follow the label rate on your fertilizer and apply to moist soil to prevent root burn. For most trees and shrubs, a slow-release granular fertilizer applied in early spring as growth begins is the safest and most effective approach. Visit the Nature Hills blog or product pages for plant-specific feeding recommendations tailored to your region and growing conditions.

How do I protect my garden from pests, deer, moles, and other animals after planting?

This question falls outside the scope of the Shop Pay article, but Nature Hills is happy to help. Protecting your plants starts with physical barriers like wire mesh cloches or hardware cloth buried at least 6 inches deep to deter moles and voles, and 8-foot deer fencing in high-pressure zones. Apply deer and rabbit repellents at planting time and reapply every 30 days or after heavy rain throughout the growing season. Visit the Nature Hills blog for detailed pest and wildlife protection guides tailored to your specific plants and region.

Can I buy annuals, perennials, and biennials together in one online order and plant them at the same time?

Yes, you can absolutely purchase annuals, perennials, and biennials together in a single order at Nature Hills Nursery, and grouping them in one checkout is easy with Shop Pay's streamlined one-tap payment process. Whether you're planting in spring after your last frost date or in fall for overwintering perennials, timing your planting depends on each plant's specific needs and your USDA hardiness zone rather than the order itself. Biennials like Foxglove and Sweet William establish in year one and bloom in year two, so pairing them with fast-blooming annuals like Zinnias and long-lived perennials like Coneflower gives you continuous color across multiple seasons. Browse the full selection at naturehills.com, add your mix to the cart, and use Shop Pay at checkout to lock in your order quickly before popular varieties sell out.
