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.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Taking care of a Daisy May® is very easy but there are a few simple rules to follow. They thrive in full sun but do appreciate some light shade in regions with hot summers. Planting in soil that drains well is essential as overwatering can be quite harmful to these Daisies, especially during the winter months. When it comes to watering, less is more. Water weekly when rainfall is less than an inch, but they will not tolerate excessive moisture or soggy soil in the winter.

Provide a good layer of mulch, at least 3-4 inches around the roots, especially in drier climates, and enrich the soil with plenty of humus and compost. Remove faded flower heads to encourage more blooms and prune the clumps back in late fall when the foliage yellows. Daisy clumps can be divided every few years to promote better growth and vigor.

Beautiful Shastas!

Nice, healthy plant. I purchased this one to replace one I lost over the summer. It's the only one blooming and it puts my others to shame.

Thank you for the lovely review! It's great to hear that your replacement came in blooming and already outpacing the others. Keep it watered well while it settles into its new spot.

Looking Good So Far

Just arrived two weeks ago in very good condition and very healthy. Planted immediately after arrival and they are looking very good; one is ready to blossom. Have watered regularly. Just hoping they take root before this beautiful fall weather turns to winter.

Shasta Daisies are pretty adaptable, and getting one close to blooming just two weeks after planting is a great sign of how well they settled in. Keep up the consistent watering as the soil cools, and they should have enough time to establish good roots before the ground freezes. Thanks for the update, Andrew. We hope you get that first bloom before the season turns!

I’m very pleased with them

I’m very pleased with them. They are doing well. They were a nice size when I got them. So far they’re doing well.

Becky is such a reliable daisy, and it sounds like yours are off to a solid start. A good size at arrival really does make a difference in how quickly they settle in. With a little deadheading through the season, they should reward you with blooms well into fall. Thanks for sharing the update, Renee. The Nature Hills Team

Happy with Daisy May

Nice healthy plants right out of a very well packaged container.

Hi Ray! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Amazing Daisies® Daisy May® Shasta Daisy. We are delighted to hear that you're happy with your purchase and that the plants arrived in good condition. To keep your Daisy May healthy and thriving, we recommend deadheading the flowers regularly. This will encourage new blooms and promote a fuller, bushier plant. Thank you for choosing our product and happy gardening! -Nature Hills Customer Service

Becky daisy

Awesome service. Survived shipment easily. Look fantastic. Glad I used your company.

Thank you for letting us know your ‘Becky’ Shasta Daisy arrived in such great shape and is already looking fantastic. These sun-loving perennials really shine when they get six or more hours of bright light, regular moisture while they root in, and a quick dead-heading after each flush of blooms to keep the flower show going. The University of Illinois Extension notes that well-drained soil is the key to long-lived daisies, so a light layer of compost each spring will keep your clump vigorous for many seasons. We’re thrilled you chose Nature Hills and can’t wait to hear how your daisy patch lights up the garden this summer.
Wishing you happy planting, The Nature Hills Plant Experts

Pretty as a daisy

Love my daisies! They bloom all summer and look great in a vase also!

Hi there! We're so glad to hear that you're loving your Becky Shasta Daisies! Excited to hear they're blooming all summer and adding beauty to your home. As a gardening tip, be sure to deadhead the spent blooms to encourage continuous blooming.

Happy gardening!
