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
Container Plant Sizes
Container sizes indicate plant age and growing capacity rather than liquid volume equivalents. Our containers follow industry-standard nursery "trade gallon" specifications, which differ from standard liquid gallon measurements.

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Freesia bulbs are easy to grow in sandy, loamy, average, moist well-drained soil with full sun. Blooming starts in late spring on green sword-like foliage that makes for quite a dramatic effect even when the plant is not in flower! You will want to find your warm, full sun spots in your garden for planting Freesia. Provide moderate moisture, but too much will rot these bulbs.
Freesias are excellent annuals and will flower about 10-12 weeks after planting, so you can stagger planting to extend the blooming times during the season. The bulbs can be lifted at the end of the season and stored dormant above freezing until the following spring.
Deadhead after the flowers fade, sometimes encouraging a rebloom, but leave the foliage to make food for the bulbs. Then once the leaves yellow, trim back to the ground.
- Full Sun Perennial Bulb Plants
- Fast Growing in Fertile Well-Drained Soil
- Appreciates Mulched Beds & Regular Moisture
- Deadhead After Flowers Fade & Prune Foliage When It Yellows
- Deer & Rabbit Seldom Bother These
