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:

Site selection is important, so choose an area in full sun, well-drained soil, and good air circulation. Keep the area tidy with mulch; bag and remove all leaf litter promptly. Roses perform at their peak with a regular schedule of water. It's best to use soaker hoses or drip irrigation, rather than overhead watering.

Read our Planting Guide for expert advice for installing this gorgeous Hybrid Tea Rose bush. Always add Nature Hills Root Booster to your order for use during planting, and as a top dressing for mature plants.

You'll want to mulch the root system but pull it away from directly touching the stems. Growing Hybrid Tea Roses in zones colder than zone 7 should be mounded with 8-12 inches of mulch in late fall for best overwintering. Roses are hungry and need a good slow-release fertilizer in early spring and mid-summer. Use a formula for flowering plants for the best results.

Prune Roses down to six inches in early spring. The blooms occur each year on new growth from the base of the plant. Be sure to rake up all the fallen leaf litter in late fall. Bag and dispose of Rose leaves for good hygiene. The more flowers you cut, the more you encourage repeat flushes of blooms. Why not take cut flowers to schools, nursing homes, and hospitals to say "thank you" to our hard-working helpers?

That variety has such a distinct fragrance to go along with those lavender-pink blooms, so you are in for a real treat as the season goes on. Thanks for taking the time to share how it arrived and settled in. The Nature Hills Team

Barbra's Rose

The rose arrived in a sturdy box fully alive! It is now still in original container and will be planted in the ground in early spring. I did not want to risk exposing it to winter weather. It is doing very well on our deck!

Hi there, Thank you for your lovely review of our Barbra Streisand Hybrid Tea Rose; great choice! In your typically mild climate, it’s generally safe (and often beneficial) to plant now if the site drains well: choose a sunny spot with 6+ hours of light, set the plant at the same depth as the container, water deeply, and mulch 2–3'. If you’d rather wait until early spring, keep the rose outdoors in its pot in a sheltered spot out of strong wind, insulate the container with burlap or a second pot packed with leaves, check moisture every couple of weeks to keep the soil lightly moist (not soggy). Either approach will set it up for healthy spring growth and fragrant blooms. Thank you - Nature Hills Customer Support
