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.

Plants growing in Root Pouch fabric containers, showing the breathable woven fabric construction

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.

Butterflies Magnolia - Spectacular Spring Flowers

Gorgeous Canary Yellow
Double Blooms Each Spring
Addictive Sweet Fragrance
Absolutely Adored by Pollinators
Lovely Pyramidal Shape
Large Shrub or Small Tree
Pollinator Heaven
Urban Pollution Tolerant
Cold and Heat Resistant
Full Sun to Part Shade

Imagine stepping outside on a fine spring day and seeing what appears to be a multitude of giant bright-yellow butterflies sitting among the bare branches of your Magnolia!

The gorgeous Butterflies Magnolia (Magnolia x 'Butterflies') is a small flowering tree or multi-stemmed ornamental shrub. With an abundance of bright, creamy yellow, double blooms, Butterflies is aptly named because when fully open, the flowers resemble butterflies in flight. Creating quite a show for your spring yard, making them nearly impossible to miss!

Your Butterfly Magnolia is one of the most desirable Magnolia trees on the market, and we trust that just by looking at that gorgeous bloom, you will see why! Its spring display must be seen to be believed! These lovely deciduous trees are covered in 10-16 tepals (petal-like sepals), creating tulip-like, canary-yellow blooms in early spring before the leaves arrive on the scene.

The sweet, lemony scent is a bonus to this spectacular display. Butterflies and other pollinators come from near and far for a taste of its sweet nectar. Snip a few to bring indoors and create lovely floral bouquets, or float one as a solitary bloom in a bubble bowl.

You can choose to grow it as a single tree or let it spread into a multi-stemmed shrub. Either way, it is incredibly captivating and will draw everyone in! It provides amazing, lush shade throughout the summer with its large, vivid green leaves.

Magnolia seed pods resemble exotic-looking cones. Providing interest in fall, they open to reveal bright red berries. And with their arrival, birds, squirrels, and other wildlife will adore the buffet!

How to Use Butterflies Magnolia In The Landscape

It would do well as a focal point anywhere in your yard since Butterflies love both full sun and partial shade. Creating a gorgeous privacy hedge or backdrop for smaller shrubs. Lovely interspersed amid other non-flowering bushes for added seasonal interest.

Excellent specimen or accent for sunny areas in the landscape where spring flowers can be appreciated. Working as both a small shade tree or large, multi-stemmed shrub for ornamental privacy screens and hedges.

The deep-green leaves are large and oval, making the tree remain attractive all summer. With an open pyramidal crown, it rises on a single trunk to a height of 15 to 20 feet and provides wonderful shade. You'll love the upright pyramidal form and oval canopy that creates a lovely silhouette for your landscape even when not in bloom. The amazing branching even looks lovely in winter.

It is perfect on the borders of wooded areas, or as a specimen on a lawn, and it brings great beauty early in the year when few other plants are blooming.

#ProPlantTips For Care

The Butterflies Magnolia is adaptable to pollution as well as being cold and heat tolerant. For Magnolia, full sun is ideal, requiring at least six hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight each day. This will give you the most flowers and the best color. However, Butterflies works as an understory tree that also does well in partial sun!

Hardy in USDA growing zones 5-9, these trees are cold-hardy and heat-resistant. Each bud is covered in an adorable fuzzy bud scale to protect it from spring frosts.

Magnolia grows in almost any well-drained soil, preferring acidic, loamy, moist planting medium that is organically rich. Also, do well if your soil is sandy or even in well-draining clay soils.

Requiring average moisture, these trees do very well in all conditions and are partly drought-tolerant once they're fully established. Mix organic material with the soil and water thoroughly. Use the "Finger Test" by sticking your finger into the soil near the roots to the second knuckle. If it's moist, skip watering that day. If dry, a nice, long drink is best.

With a tolerant root system, Butterflies Magnolia doesn't mind an underplanting of other perennials, groundcover, and smaller shrubs. If pruning is necessary to shape the plant, do so right after flowering; that way, you won't miss a single bloom!

A generous layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture as well as insulate the root system from heat and chill. A mulch layer also acts as a buffer if your tree is planted directly in your lawn. The silvery-gray bark is susceptible to mower and trimmer damage. You can also ring your tree with shade-loving perennials to protect the trunk.

Gorgeous ornamental trees that are easy-care and reliable bloomers are always highly sought-after for their high-impact style and versatile form. Add fragrance, unusual color, and versatility, and you have yourself one amazing plant!

The Butterflies Magnolia is a superior shrub and gorgeous tree that is exceptional among yellow-flowered Magnolias! A quick click away at Nature Hills Nursery, and you too can begin enjoying its spectacular floral display!

Yellow Magnolia

Very nice size when I recd. it. The leaves started coming out within a week. We have had cold nights though and the leaves have started to turn brown. I hope it is going to survive.

Hi,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with your Yellow Magnolia. We’re delighted to hear that your plant arrived at a nice size and that new leaves emerged so quickly! We understand your concern about the brown leaves, especially after those chilly nights. Magnolias can be sensitive to cold early in their growth, so some leaf browning is common but usually isn’t cause for alarm.

To support your Yellow Magnolia through this stage, we suggest shielding it from frost when possible, perhaps by using a frost cloth or moving a potted plant to a protected spot during cold snaps. Watering consistently—ensuring the soil stays moist but well-drained—can also encourage healthy recovery. If you haven’t seen it yet, our [Plant Care Guide for Magnolias](https://www.naturehills.com/pages/magnolia-tree-care) offers tips tailored to helping magnolias thrive in varying conditions.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have further questions or need advice. We’re here to ensure your Magnolia grows strong and beautiful with time!

Hi,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with your Yellow Magnolia. We're delighted to hear that it arrived in good size and that new leaves began to emerge so quickly! Regarding the browning leaves after the cold nights, magnolias can be sensitive to temperature fluctuations, especially when young. To help your tree thrive, consider providing some extra protection on those chilly evenings, such as a frost cloth or a light mulch base to keep the roots insulated. Also, avoiding excessive watering during cold spells can prevent stress.
