Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: Provide at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sun daily to ensure the most prolific bloom production. While the vine can grow in partial shade, you will notice a significant decrease in flower count and less intense red coloration.
Soil: These vines prefer well-drained soil but are highly adaptable to various types. If you are dealing with heavy clay, mix in some finished compost to prevent the roots from sitting in stagnant water which can lead to rot.

Watering Requirements

During the first year, water deeply twice a week to ensure the root system establishes properly in its new home. Once the vine is mature, it is remarkably drought-tolerant and only needs supplemental water during extended dry spells. If you notice flower buds dropping before they open, it is usually a sign that the plant is stressed from inconsistent moisture.

Pruning Tips

This variety blooms on new wood, so the best time for a trim is in late winter or early spring before you see green growth. Pruning acts like a reset button, encouraging the plant to send out the vigorous new shoots that will carry the season's flowers. You can cut the vine back quite hard to maintain a specific size without worrying about losing your summer flower show.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer once in early spring as the first leaves begin to unfurl. Avoid using high-nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer because they promote tender green growth that will not have time to harden off before the first freeze. Using a formula specifically for flowering plants will help focus the vine's energy on producing those iconic trumpet-shaped blooms.

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.

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.
