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
Container sizes indicate plant age and growing capacity rather than liquid volume equivalents. Our containers follow industry-standard nursery "trade gallon" specifications, which differ from standard liquid gallon measurements.

Blessed with plenty of land to fill? Or making the most of every square inch on a tiny lot?
Turn to the charming blossoms of the Snowdrop Anemone (Anemone sylvestris) to gently fill bare ground under mature trees. Let it softly fill in the rough nooks and crannies of forgotten side yards, and awkward corners.
Anemone is one of the world's prettiest flowers, and the striking good looks of Snowdrop can't be overlooked. Create an effective "garden moment" with a mass planting.
From mid-spring to early summer, enjoy these evocative flowers. Five pristine white petals surround a blaze of sun-gold stamens. The laden flower heads droop enchantingly on long, violet-pink stems.
Their light fragrance and air of innocence will delight even the gruffest garden visitor. Best of all? They are so easy to grow and care for.
Let them trip and trap over partially shaded ground for you. Naturalize these fairy flowers and you'll be forever enchanted.
Lavish, fine-textured, blue-green foliage provides a beautiful contrast. These mounded plants cloak your space in delightfully lush, cool tones all summer.
Even if you live in an urban "forest" of tall buildings, they help you claim ownership of your personal kingdom. Grow them in large pots to decorate a dim balcony.
Don't miss these glamorous woodland accent plants. Order enough Snowdrop Anemone to complete your entire project...we will sell out quickly.
How to Use Snowdrop Anemone in the Landscape
Although a single plant would be lovely, Snowdrop Anemone creates such a showy feature in a massed planting. Study the Plant Highlights to determine how many plants you'll need to bring your vision to life.
Allow them to shine underneath your mature evergreen shrubs and peeking from under the lifted canopies of flowering trees. Let your guests savor their amazing blossoms on a pretty springtime garden tour before brunch.
Set up a secluded destination spot for yourself somewhere in your yard. Add a Lilac bush to shield prying eyes, and underplant the east side with several Snowdrop Anemone.
Bring in a classic Adirondack chair, or a sophisticated modern hanging hammock chair. Put your feet up and shake off those winter blues, breathing in the magnificent scent of your good taste.
Snowdrop Anemone looks incredible on high ground near water features. While they won't tolerate standing water, they do like evenly moist conditions.
Let them spread to fill the foreground of planned Shade Gardens, as well. Partner with other outstanding offerings from the Nature Hills' extensive Perennial Catalog.
#ProPlantTips for Care
Achieve a superior performance in part shade. Provide Snowdrop Anemone at least four hours of sunshine a day.
They adore evenly moist and rich, well-drained soil. Add a few handfuls of compost when planting, and be sure to use Nature Hills Root Booster in the backfill soil for life-long support of their critical feeder roots.
Apply mulch over the roots of this plant. Keep your plants evenly moist but not soggy for excellent flower development and form.
Prune them down in late winter to an inch or two from the ground. Apply fertilizer for flowering plants or a top-dressing of compost.
