Deer rarely bother Shasta daisies except when food sources are scarce and they're desperate. The Amazing Daisies® Marshmallow variety is naturally deer-resistant like other daisy cultivars. For extra protection, plant them near more preferred deer food or use companion plants deer dislike.

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.

Plants growing in Root Pouch fabric containers, showing the breathable woven fabric construction

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:

These upright perennials benefit from full sun for the strongest stems. When planted in warmer Marshmallow appreciates some partial shade in the afternoons. Shasta Daisies are tough herbaceous perennials that have the most vigorous growth when grown in any fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Mulch well to retain moisture and insulate the roots. After that though, this hardy plant is quite drought-tolerant. Incessantly wet roots will, especially during the winter, can cause some damage.

A good way to ensure the longest flowering time is to periodically deadhead the spent flowers. It is best to prune down the stems and foliage in late autumn after it has turned yellow. Improve vigor by dividing every few years. Not only do you get a healthier plant, but you (or a friend or neighbor) also get two healthy plants out of the deal!

Most Compact Growth in Full Sun
Moderate Regular Moisture - Appreciates Mulched Beds
Well-Drained Organically Enriched Soil - Dislikes Soggy Winter Soil
Reblooms if Deadheaded - Prune Mounds in Late Autumn
Seldom Damaged By Deer - Easy Care & Low Maintenance

Beautiful blooms

Beautiful blooms.

Shasta daisies have a way of brightening up a garden without any fuss, and Victorian Secret is one of the better ones for doing exactly that. Thanks for sharing, Katharine. We hope it keeps blooming well for you season after season. -The Nature Hills Team

Buds and ready to bloom

Buds and ready to bloom. I'll shop with Nature Hills again.

Shasta daisies arriving with buds already set is a great sign. They should settle in quickly and put on a good show. We look forward to helping with your next plant, Bryan.

I am so impressed with this little project So

So different and beatiful

Victorian Secret is a great pick, and it sounds like it has already won you over. The blooms on this one are a real departure from the classic single daisy, and it tends to fill in nicely once it gets established. We look forward to growing your garden with you, Sandra. Thanks for sharing!

Nice plant

The plant arrived in great shape, a healthy plant packaged well. It is root bound as stated. A bit wilted but (its hot its June 25, so yes its wilted) I put it in the sink and gave it a little water I will plant it later this evening when it has cooled off some outside. Thanks for the care of the plant itself and for taking extra precautions in shipping it.

Sounds like you handled that arrival perfectly, Toni. A good drink of water and planting in the cooler evening hours is exactly the right move for a plant that has been through a summer shipment. Victorian Secret is a strong grower once it settles in, and with those roots ready to stretch out, you should see it take off quickly. Thanks for trusting us with your garden.

Doing Well

The plant arrived in good condition but a bit stressed from the travel. It has been planted for about two weeks and looks strong and healthy. I’m looking forward to seeing its first bloom.

Shasta Daisies can look a little road-weary after shipping, so it's great to hear yours bounced back quickly and is settling in well. Two weeks in and already looking strong is a good sign for a solid first bloom season. Keep an eye out for those first buds, they tend to put on a cheerful show once they hit their stride, Kathy. Thanks for the update!

Amazing flower arrived in excellent

Shasta Daisies are hard to beat for a reliable, cheerful bloom, and it sounds like this one arrived ready to get established. Thanks for the note on the condition, David. We hope it puts on a great show for you this season.

When should Daisy's be planted?

Nature Hills Nursery

Hi Lisa, Thank you for inquiring about our Marshmallow Shasta Daisies! While these can be planted during the summer, they will require more dilligent care. Amazing Daisies ‘Marshmallow’ Shasta Daisy is best planted in spring after the last frost or early fall, when the weather is cooler and the roots can settle in comfortably. Since fall is approaching, with cooler temperatures and increased rainfall this makes for less stress on the plant, and the soil is still warm enough for the roots to grow and get established before the ground freezes in winter. Thank you for asking - Nature Hills Customer Support
