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
Container sizes indicate plant age and growing capacity rather than liquid volume equivalents. Our containers follow industry-standard nursery "trade gallon" specifications, which differ from standard liquid gallon measurements.

- Container size helps indicate plant maturity and establishment level
- Larger containers generally mean more established root systems and faster landscape establishment

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Potatoes need full sun and rich, slightly acidic well-drained soil that isn't compacted or rocky. Provide regular moderate moisture throughout the growing season. Keep a 3-4 inch deep layer of compost/mulch over the soil surface.
Plant seed potatoes 2-4 weeks after your area's last frost date and harvest the first baby potatoes when the flowers bloom, or wait until your crop is mature.
