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:
Hydrangea prefers full sun in cooler climates and loves afternoon shade in hotter growing zones. Provide an evenly moist but well-drained soil that’s very well enriched. Then cover the soil with a thick layer of mulch. Prune out old flower heads and winter dieback in early spring as they start to grow, leaving young stems to rebloom.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Moist, Enriched Well-Drained Soil
- Durable & Hardy Zones 5 - 9
- Color Change in Acid Soils
- Prune in Early Spring & Mulch Well
Durable and cute as can be, the Wee Bit Giddy® Bigleaf Hydrangea from Proven Winners® ColorChoice® will brighten your landscape without overpowering your garden!
