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
Container sizes indicate plant age and growing capacity rather than liquid volume equivalents. Our containers follow industry-standard nursery "trade gallon" specifications, which differ from standard liquid gallon measurements.

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Compact, Dense Shrubs Provides Year Round Color
Extremely resilient and adaptable the Dogwood Red Gnome is ideal for a broad variety of landscaping uses. Versatility makes this densely-branched shrub an excellent choice for diverse garden plans, from linear, careful designs to focal, impact planting.
Red Gnome is a lightly textured foliage option that maintains a fairly round shape, creating an excellent point of contrast against other shrubs in your garden.
Grown in a row to edge a yard or in a layered bank of greenery, these compact and low-growing shrubs create natural boundaries of color that vary from season to season. Clusters of white flowers at the tips of the stems in spring turn to white berries in summer.
Summer dark green foliage begins to deepen to showy burgundy in fall. Winter, Dogwood Red Gnome's dormant season, surprises with stems of deep red that stand out in the landscape. Four seasons of color makes the Dogwood Red Gnome a standout for your garden!
Introduce Dogwood Red Gnome to your garden for color that reflects the beauty of each season. Order yours today for a versatile garden palette.
