Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: Northern Exposure™ Sienna performs best in partial shade to full shade, receiving about 2 to 4 hours of morning sun. While it can handle more sun in northern climates, too much direct afternoon heat in the south will cause the vibrant sienna foliage to fade or scorch.
Soil: These plants crave rich, organic soil that drains as well as a colander. If you are dealing with heavy clay, mix in some compost or aged bark to lift the roots out of the muck, as "wet feet" will quickly lead to root rot.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, water your Coral Bells twice a week to ensure the root system anchors itself deeply into the soil. Once established, these perennials are remarkably drought tolerant, but you should still provide a deep soak during dry spells to prevent the leaves from crisping at the edges. Inconsistent moisture often leads to smaller, less vibrant leaves and fewer flower wands in the spring.

Pruning Tips

Since these plants are evergreen in many zones, you only need to tidy them up in early spring by snipping off any tattered or winter-burned leaves at the base. Think of this like a spring cleaning that makes room for fresh, brightly colored growth to emerge from the crown. Avoid cutting into the woody center of the plant, as this is where the new life begins each year.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring just as you see the first tiny leaves beginning to unfurl. Avoid using high-nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer or fall, as this encourages tender new growth that will likely be killed off by the first hard frost. A single application of a general-purpose formula usually provides enough "fuel" for the entire season.

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.
