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

- Moderate moisture and moderately fertile soil of all types
- Yellow Yucca’s size can reach up to 5 feet tall when in bloom
- You should trim your Yucca’s leaves in early spring before there’s new growth, removing only old, dead leaves cleanly to the base
