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

- Silvery-White Seed Heads
- Burgundy & Gold Fall Color
- Fast-Growing Fine-Texture
- Containers, Privacy & Accent
#ProPlantTips for Care:
Maiden Grasses love full sun and also do great in partial shade! Provide moderate and consistent moisture until they are established, and afterward only need moderate moisture in times of drought. Plant in a well-drained soil location that's moderately enriched and organic.
Warm-season grasses may green up later in the spring, but really shine once the hot, dry summer weather kicks in!
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Moderate Moisture Once Established
- Provide a Well-Drained Location
- Warm-Season Grass
- Prune in Late-Winter/Early Spring
