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

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Amaryllis are perennial bulbs that require full sun outdoors, or bright indirect sunlight indoors. Plant in consistent moderately moist well-drained soil to do their best, as long as it is not soggy. Add bulb fertilizer to each hole for best results and provide moderate moisture during drought. Deadhead after flowers fade but keep the leaves so they can make food for the bulb and next year's flowers! Its blooms endure through spring showers and days of sunshine.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade Outdoors, Bright Indirect Indoors

- Deadhead After Bloom & Clean Mound When Leaves Yellow
- Moderate Moisture
