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.

The Tiny Pearl Asiatic Lily (Lilium asiaticum 'Tiny Pearl') packs rich, deep pink blooms into a compact plant that tops out at just about one foot tall. Each petal carries darker spots that add depth and character, making this dwarf lily a real standout in containers, window boxes, and border fronts. If you've been looking for a perennial bulb that delivers bold color without taking over the garden, this is it.

Why You'll Love the Tiny Pearl Asiatic Lily

Dwarf habit (about 1 foot tall) fits easily into containers, raised beds, and tight spaces
Deep pink/rose blooms with darker spotting create a layered, eye-catching look
Extremely cold hardy in zones 3 through 9
Low maintenance and naturally deer resistant
Multiplies over time, forming larger clumps each season with no extra effort
Excellent cut flower for small arrangements

Growing Conditions

Tiny Pearl thrives in full sun to partial shade. Give it at least six hours of direct sunlight for the best bloom production. Well-drained soil is essential because Asiatic Lilies will rot if left sitting in waterlogged conditions. Average, moderately fertile garden soil works perfectly. These lilies are remarkably cold hardy and perform well across zones 3 through 9.

Size and Growth Habit

This dwarf variety reaches about 1 foot tall with a similar spread. The upward-facing blooms sit close to the foliage, giving the plant a tidy, rounded appearance. It's one of the most compact Asiatic Lilies available, which makes it ideal for small-space gardening.

Landscape Uses and Design Ideas

Tiny Pearl is a natural fit for container gardens on patios and decks, where its compact size and vivid pink blooms can be appreciated up close. Plant it along walkway edges or at the front of perennial borders for a ribbon of early summer color. It also pairs beautifully with low-growing ornamental grasses and other bulb varieties for a layered planting design.

Planting and Care Tips

Plant bulbs 4 to 6 inches deep and 8 to 12 inches apart in fall or early spring. Water thoroughly at planting, then allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Once the blooms fade, leave the foliage in place until it yellows naturally. The leaves feed the bulb for next year's flowers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What planting zones is the Tiny Pearl Asiatic Lily hardy in?

The Tiny Pearl Asiatic Lily is hardy in zones 3 through 9, making it extremely cold tolerant across most of North America. This wide hardiness range means it can handle harsh winters and variable growing conditions. Plant bulbs in fall for best establishment before winter dormancy.

What type of soil conditions does the Tiny Pearl Asiatic Lily need to thrive?

Tiny Pearl Asiatic Lily requires well-drained soil and will rot in waterlogged conditions. Average, moderately fertile garden soil works perfectly in full sun to partial shade. Plant bulbs 4-6 inches deep in fall for best results. Shop at Nature Hills for quality bulbs.

How often should I water this lily and what are its moisture requirements?

Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, allowing soil to dry between waterings. These lilies need well-drained conditions and will rot in waterlogged soil. Check containers more frequently than garden plantings, especially during hot weather.

Is this a fast-growing or slow-growing lily variety?

Tiny Pearl Asiatic Lily has a moderate growth rate, reaching its full 1-foot height in its first season after planting. Like most Asiatic lilies, it establishes quickly but multiplies gradually over time to form larger clumps. Plant bulbs in fall for blooms the following early summer.

Are these lilies deer resistant or will I need to protect them?

Tiny Pearl Asiatic Lilies are naturally deer resistant, so you won't need fencing or sprays in most cases. While no plant is 100% deer-proof, these compact lilies are rarely bothered by browsing wildlife. Find Tiny Pearl bulbs at naturehills.com for fall planting.

Can I grow Tiny Pearl Asiatic Lilies successfully in containers or pots?

Yes, Tiny Pearl Asiatic Lilies are excellent for containers due to their compact 1-foot height. Their dwarf habit makes them perfect for pots, window boxes, and small spaces while still delivering bold pink blooms. Plant bulbs 4-6 inches deep in well-draining potting mix this fall.
