Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: This perennial thrives in full sun and requires at least six hours of direct light daily. While it tolerates partial shade, you will notice fewer blooms and weaker stems that may flop over without enough light energy.
Soil: Provide rich, well-drained soil to keep the root systems healthy. If you have heavy clay that stays wet, mix in some organic compost or plant them in a slightly raised mound to prevent winter crown rot.

Watering Requirements

During the first season, water deeply twice a week to help the roots reach deep into the ground. Established daisies are quite drought tolerant, but inconsistent moisture during the hot summer months often results in smaller flowers and crispy leaf edges.

Pruning Tips

These daisies bloom on new wood and benefit greatly from deadheading throughout the summer. Cut faded flower stems back to the next lateral bud or set of leaves to trigger a fresh round of creamy yellow blooms. This process prevents the plant from wasting energy on seed production and keeps the foliage looking tidy.

Fertilizer Needs

Feed your plants with a balanced, slow release fertilizer once in early spring as the first green shoots emerge. Avoid high nitrogen fertilizers late in the growing season because they promote soft leafy growth that is more susceptible to pests and winter damage.

Understanding Our Container Sizes

At Nature Hills, our plants are sold in industry-standard nursery containers. You will notice we use the word "container" rather than "gallon." Container numbers follow a nursery trade size standard, not liquid volume. The number tells you the plant's size category and general maturity level. A larger container means a more established plant with a stronger root system.

Container Sizes

Quart

Plant age: 6 months to 1 year
Best for: Ground covers, perennials, ornamental grasses
What to expect: Our smallest and most affordable size. Well-suited for planting in multiples across a large area. Allow 1 to 2 seasons for full establishment.

#1 Container

Plant age: 1 to 2 years
Best for: Shrubs, perennials, smaller trees
What to expect: About the size of a large coffee can. A well-developed root system in a manageable size. Good value choice when you have time to let the plant grow into the space over a season or two.

#2 Container

Plant age: 2 to 3 years
Best for: Shrubs and trees where you want faster establishment
What to expect: A noticeable step up from a #1 in both plant size and root development. Good choice when you want visible presence without going to a larger size.

#3 Container

Plant age: 3 to 4 years
Best for: Most plants, most situations — flowering trees, shade trees, evergreen shrubs
What to expect: Our most popular size. Strong, developed root system. Plants in a #3 container make an immediate visual impact from day one. If you want a head start rather than waiting seasons for a plant to fill in, this is typically the right choice.

#5 Container and Larger

Plant age: 4 to 5+ years
Best for: Specimen plants, privacy screens, maximum instant impact
What to expect: Large, mature plants ready to make an immediate statement in your landscape. We also carry #7 and larger sizes for select varieties.

Why "Container" and Not "Gallon"?

Nursery container sizes follow an industry trade standard established for the nursery and horticulture industry. The number is a size designation, not a measurement of liquid volume. Actual soil volume varies by plant type, root mass, and growing medium. Using "container" is the accurate industry term. When you see #1, #2, or #3, think of it as the plant's size tier, not a gallon measurement.

Root Pouch Containers

Some Nature Hills plants arrive in a Root Pouch, a breathable fabric container made from 100% recycled materials. Root Pouches encourage denser root development through air pruning, which discourages root circling and promotes a stronger, more fibrous root ball at the time of planting.

There are two types. Knowing which one you have changes how you plant:

Degradable (brown or tan fabric): Plant the entire pouch directly in the ground. The fabric breaks down naturally in the soil over time.
Non-degradable (black or gray fabric): Remove the pouch before planting. Cut the bottom open with scissors, then peel the sides away. The fibrous root ball will hold its shape.

Not sure which type you have? Check the tag on your plant or contact us and we will confirm.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

These upright perennials benefit from full sun for the strongest stems. Shasta Daisies are tough herbaceous perennials that have the most vigorous growth when grown in any fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Mulch well to retain moisture and insulate the roots. After that though, this hardy plant is quite drought-tolerant. Incessantly wet roots will, especially during the winter, can cause some damage.

To ensure the longest flowering time is to periodically deadhead the spent flowers. It is best to prune down the stems and foliage in late autumn after it has turned yellow. Improve vigor by dividing every few years. Not only do you get a healthier plant, but you (or a friend or neighbor) also get two healthy plants out of the deal!

Most Compact Growth in Full Sun
Moderate Regular Moisture - Appreciates Mulched Beds
Well-Drained Organically Enriched Soil - Dislikes Soggy Winter Soil
Reblooms if Deadheaded - Prune Mounds in Late Autumn
Seldom Damaged By Deer - Easy Care & Low Maintenance
