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

#ProPlantTips for Care:

- Low water needs once established
- Not particular on soil type but prefers slightly acidic soil
- Provide a regular fertilizer regiment
