Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: Provide at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day for the strongest stems and most abundant blooms. While this lily can tolerate very light shade, too much shade will cause the stems to stretch and potentially flop over.
Soil: Plant bulbs in well-drained soil rich in organic matter to prevent rot. If you are working with heavy clay, amend the area with compost to improve drainage or plant in raised beds and containers where you can control the soil quality.

Watering Requirements

Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy while the plant is establishing its roots and actively growing. Water deeply at the base of the plant to keep the leaves dry, which helps prevent fungal issues. During hot, dry spells, ensure the soil stays cool and moist to support the blooms; inconsistent moisture can lead to bud drop or shorter flower life.

Pruning Tips

Remove spent flower heads as they fade to prevent the plant from spending energy on seed production, which helps strengthen the bulb. Do not cut back the green foliage or stems until they turn yellow and die back naturally in late fall. The green leaves act like solar panels, gathering energy to recharge the bulb for next year's display.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a slow-release, balanced fertilizer or a specific bulb formula in early spring when new shoots begin to emerge from the ground. Avoid using high-nitrogen fertilizers later in the season, as this promotes excessive leafy growth at the expense of flower production.

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.
