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.

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Azalea are members of the Rhododendron family and thrive in shade and moist environments. Provide dappled shade all day or afternoon shade and morning sun for these plants. Plant in an enriched, slightly-acidic environment with moderately moist well-drained soil. Apply a 3-4 inch thick layer of arborist pine bark mulch, extending out over the entire root system for the best moisture retention. They appreciate being pruned immediately after flowering if needed.
- Partial Shade
- Enriched, Slightly Acidic Soil Conditions
- Regular Moisture Needs
- Prune Immediately After Flowering
- Appreciates Mulched Beds
