Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: All the Buzz Allium thrives in full sun with at least six hours of direct sunlight daily for the best flower production. It also tolerates part shade with four to six hours of sun, though flowering may be slightly reduced. Choose a spot where the plant will receive consistent morning or afternoon sun.

Soil: Grows well in a wide range of soils from poor to fertile, as long as drainage is adequate. Avoid heavy, waterlogged clay that stays soggy, which can lead to bulb rot. Sandy and loamy soils are ideal. If planting in containers, use a well-draining potting mix and ensure pots have drainage holes.

Watering Requirements

Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings. Alliums are naturally drought tolerant once established and prefer drier conditions over consistently wet soil. During the first growing season, water once or twice a week to help roots establish. Established plants rarely need supplemental watering except during extended dry spells. Overwatering is the most common mistake with Alliums and leads to root and bulb rot.

Pruning Tips

Removing spent flowers after blooming can sometimes encourage a second, lighter flush of blooms. After flowering is complete, you can trim the stems back to the basal foliage. Leave the foliage intact until it yellows naturally in fall, as it continues to feed the roots for next year's growth. The dried seed heads are attractive left standing through winter for visual interest and bird habitat.

Fertilizer Needs

Alliums are light feeders and rarely need supplemental fertilization. A thin layer of compost worked into the soil in early spring provides all the nutrients most plants need. If soil is particularly poor, apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer at half strength in spring as new growth emerges. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers which promote lush foliage at the expense of flowers. Do not fertilize after midsummer.

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.
