Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Strawberry Sundae™ is an easy-care, deciduous shrub. It's winter hardy and does well in urban regions. For best performance, provide it with plenty of sun and a moderate amount of regular moisture.

Not much to ask for months of glorious beauty! Prune back in early spring for the best and most abundant blooms. Pruning will also help it keep its shrub-like shape.
