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

Azalea Planting & Care Guide
Azaleas require well-drained, slightly acidic soil with 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. In hot summer Zones 9 - 10, please give them afternoon shade.
Apply a three-inch layer of pine straw over the root zone to keep it cool and moist, pulling it away from directly touching the stems. Don't plant Azaleas too deeply...keep the soil at the same level they grew in at the nursery, or mound up to improve drainage.
- Full Sun Azalea Bush - Tolerates Partial/Afternoon Shade
