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

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Full sun plants, these hardy and easy-to-grow flowering Sages have average to low water requirements, you'll not need to worry about the summer heat but bloom best with regular watering and a 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch around the root system. Salt and drought-tolerant and adaptable to nearly all organically rich, any well-drained soil is perfect for these low-maintenance plants. Deadheading the old flowers will reward you with more blooms. In the fall, once the plant foliage has died back from frost, can be pruned back near the ground to await the winter snows.
- Full Sun
- Well-Drained Soil Needs
