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.

Elevate your landscape with the double-duty beauty of the Paraplu Adorned® Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus 'Minpapan1'). While most Rose of Sharon varieties are prized solely for their tropical-looking blooms, Paraplu Adorned® offers a sensory explosion that begins with its foliage and ends with a spectacular floral show. This isn't just a shrub; it is a vertical masterpiece designed to bring light and texture to the sunny corners of your garden.

Luminous Variegated Foliage

Long before the first flower bud appears, Paraplu Adorned® commands attention with its maple-like leaves. Each leaf is a work of art, featuring a bold, serrated edge and a striking variegation of deep forest green and brilliant chartreuse. This yellow-green glow provides a luminous quality in the garden, brightening up darker landscape backdrops and providing a high-contrast canvas for the summer display. Unlike older variegated varieties that may scorch in the sun, this Proven Winners® selection maintains its crisp color throughout the heat of the season.

A Summer Symphony of Purple

As the midsummer heat sets in, this Rose of Sharon transforms into a pollinator paradise. Large, five-petaled blooms unfurl in a delicate shade of light purple, each one featuring a dramatic "eye" of dark magenta at the center. These cool-toned flowers appear in abundance against the warm chartreuse foliage, creating a color palette that is both sophisticated and tropical. Hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees will be frequent visitors to these nectar-rich flowers from midsummer well into the fall.

Sophisticated Structure for Tight Spaces

With its naturally upright and narrow habit, the Paraplu Adorned® is a problem-solver for modern landscapes. Reaching up to 10 feet tall but staying only 4 feet wide, it is the perfect candidate for a "living fence" or a colorful privacy screen along a patio. Use it as a thriller in large containers, a focal point in a mixed border, or plant them in a row for a formal, blooming hedge that requires very little maintenance to keep its shape.

Smaller plants than I thought BUT are growing

Smaller plants than I thought for what I paid, BUT plants are healthy & growing.

The Lil' Kim Violet is one of those plants that rewards patience, and it sounds like yours are already off to a good start with healthy growth. Rose of Sharon establishes quickly once it gets going, so the smaller size at arrival tends to catch up fast. We hear you on the value concern, Jerry, and we appreciate the honest feedback as we work to set better size expectations for shoppers. Thanks for giving them a chance to grow.

Big healthy plant

I was delighted to receive this hibiscus; the plant was larger than I expected and very healthy. It set a bud within a week of being planted so I got a sneak preview of the color before it went dormant. It will be hard to wait until warm weather returns and all my new plants start growing and blooming!

Dear Louise,

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that your hibiscus arrived larger and healthier than expected—and that it wasted no time surprising you with a bud already. That sneak preview must have made the wait for spring all the more exciting. We completely understand how hard it is to be patient until the warmer weather helps all your new plants burst into full bloom.

In the meantime, keeping your hibiscus in a bright indoor spot with moderate humidity and consistent watering can help support its health during dormancy. If you'd like, we also have detailed care guides and tips on how to prepare your plants for the next growing season, which we’re happy to share anytime.

Thank you again for entrusting us with your garden—wishing you many vibrant blooms ahead!
