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.

| #2 Container | 2 to 3 yrs | Shrubs and trees where you want faster establishment. |
| #3 Container | 3 to 4 yrs | Most plants. Immediate visual impact. Our most popular size. |

How to Use White Pillar® Rose of Sharon in the Landscape
Place one near the side of your front door as a durable accent. Those lean, tall good looks will be a terrific feature all year-long.
Try a pair on either side of your garden gate. Every time you pass between them, you'll revel in a grand sense of entrance.
Take this concept and expand on it. Add a double row in a showy allée along the length of your side yard. Why not make a feature out of a boring, ho-hum area?
Spacing these plants is just as versatile as everything else about these cool plants. For a solid screen, measure 18 inches from the center of one plant to the center of the next.
For an allée, increase the spacing between plants to four or five feet. Allow 12 to 15 feet between the rows.
Repeat their use along the back of your perennial or shrub border to produce a very effective backdrop. Extend the height of your hardscape fence with a solid "living fence" for welcome privacy.
Go all out with an eye-catching garden feature by alternating White Pillar with Purple Pillar Rose of Sharon. Go ahead and some fun in your space!
#ProPlantTips for Care
Give them at least four hours of sunshine a day. More sun means more flowers!
Apply a medium amount of water on a regular basis for the best results. Add a three-inch layer of mulch to cover the root system.
New plants need careful attention to water. Once your plants are established, they'll handle a bit of drought. Container-grown plants will always need a medium amount of supplemental water.
White Pillar blooms on new wood, so prune it in early spring. You can shape the sides and tip prune to control the height at that time.
Deer don't prefer the taste, but they are hungry little buggers. If there are deer in your area, apply deer repellent on planting day. Follow reapplication instructions on the label.
Fall in love with the strong structure and flower power of White Pillar® Rose of Sharon. Order yours ASAP, these are a big sell-out risk.
