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.

You can also create a narrow planting bed on the other side of your front walk for a delightful entrance. Just plant them three feet from the edge of your sidewalk to avoid snagging clothing.
Include them along the edge of formal Rose garden beds. They'll also be a wonderfully low-maintenance alternative to annual bedding plants when massed in the center of Boxwood-lined squares and rectangles.
Keep them as "Thrillers" in a series of containers for a lovely display. You'll have your own Cutting Garden, even at rental properties.

#ProPlantTips for Care
Provide Shrub Roses with full sun and well-drained soil. Morning sun is best, and they'll need at least six hours of light per day to produce those beautiful blooms.
Give them good air circulation, pulling containers out a little way from the walls. Add Nature Hills Root Booster during planting to create symbiotic support for the tiny feeder roots as they take up micronutrients from the soil.
Provide an even, consistent schedule of water. This is especially important during the flushes of flower production throughout the growing season.
Apply a three-inch layer of mulch, and pull it back away from directly touching the stems. You'll keep your Roses nice and clean...and their root systems cool and moist with mulch.
In late fall, rake and remove all the fallen foliage from underneath your Calypso. The next year in early spring as they start to wake up, trim the stems to eight inches.
Although these darling Roses are compact, they'll make a big impact in your world. Place your order for the Easy Elegance® Calypso Shrub Roses and let them sing you a lively garden song year after year.
