Or display your portrait garden planter box with candles and art on your mantle. Anywhere you choose because there is no worry of mess or water leaking! Keeping Your Living Art Happy It is easy to care for your new planter because succulents are low-maintenance, easy-going plants! Provide them with    plenty of filtered, bright light, but go easy on the water, especially during the dormant season. They only need water every few months in wintertime.  Water your garden evenly by pouring small amounts into the built-in watering slots at the top, and excess water leaves the bottom, dripping into the reservoir. Or place ice cubes on top, allowing them to melt gradually to consistently water the roots. During the growing season, increase the watering to once a month on average. However, if you keep your planter outside, be prepared to water several times a week. Once established and settled in, add very small amounts of fertilizer suitable for succulents according to the directions on the bag. Enjoy! Creating living wall art has never been easier! Let Nature Hills decorate your home and garden with living greenery both indoors and out! Reduce stress, improve home air quality and enjoy gardening even in the dead of winter!

For many parts of the country, winter can seem bleak or boring and well ... brown. But remember… brown is a color too! When looking at your plants beneath drifts of snow, you can forget that brown is one of our favorite colors! And there are so many different shades, each accenting other colors in the winter landscape for some truly beautiful results! Brownies, Café au lait, Tea, Cinnamon, Ginger, Chocolate, Pecan, Walnut, Mocha, Caramel, and Coffee. Is your mouth watering yet? Other hues like Sand, Russet, Tawny, Umber, Taupe, Faun, and Khaki and conjure feelings of warmth and comfort! Sable, Gold, Copper, Penny, Brass, and Bronze all sound rich and luxurious! Landscaping with brown in mind is as important to the landscape palette as other colors throughout the year, if not more! Because it only shines when the snow flies!  Beautiful Brassy Grasses The most common winter browns are native and Ornamental Grasses. Ranging from tan, sable, blond and brown, they’ve become standard winter interest throughout the coldest seasons! Those sandy, creamy beiges add fine texture and form, are an obvious choice all year. Wildly popular because of the dimension and motion they add to the dormant garden, combined with their dramatic fall colors, Grasses can be wildly showy! The attractive feathery seed heads dry and wave in the wind. They’re just amazing when backlit by the setting sun, or landscape lighting all year long! Earthy Branches & Bark Deciduous shrubs, like colorful Red Twig Dogwoods and Burning Bush, really show their stuff once their stems are laid bare! The unique twisted branches of Harry Lauder’s Walking Stick are revealed only when the leaves fall. While Pussywillow and Corkscrew Willow glow with brassy yellow, contorted stems! The blushed trunks of Coral Bark Japanese Maples shine and Cherry trees show off gorgeous chestnut-red bark and dramatic lenticels in winter. Or add texture with peeling Paperbark Maples or uniquely bumpy Hackberry Trees. The gray flakey bark of Ironwood trees or the ghostly white and burnished gold of Birch and Aspen stands out among the snow. Bronzed Winter Accents Some Evergreen shrubs and trees celebrate by taking on bronzed winter hues! The Fernspray False Cypress retains its unique foliage but becomes a lovely chestnut brown. Arborvitae and Eastern Red Cedars flush burnt umber, ochre, and bronze. Russian Arborvitae transforms into beautiful taupe-brown shades during the colder months. Broadleaf Evergreens such as Abelia, Oregon Grape Holly, and Rhododendrons go through a color change in the cold to break up the dreary winter views! And the unique purple-brown winter tones of some Encore Azaleas stand out against the white snow! But don’t worry, that winter Sepia returns to its verdant green once temperatures warm and the chlorophyll reactivates in the warmth of early spring. Comforting Brown Botanicals Hydrangeas add immensely to the dormant landscape with flower heads that dry and persist, turning an antique brown! Those dormant flower heads make bold statements and last forever! Useful for decoration and crafts while catching and sculpting the snow beautifully. Don’t be in such a hurry to cut all the beautiful seed heads off in your Perennial borders! Offering different shades of tan, sienna, mahogany, almond, and taupe. Those Perennial plants and their dormant mounds of leaves, stems, and seedpods in varied hushed tones of tea and latte.  Hypericum St. John’s Wort has colorful seed pods and Coral Bells feature semi-evergreen foliage adding to a truly remarkable winter landscape! Coneflowers and Blackeyed Susan are not only attractive dried seed heads but nature’s bird feeders!  Brown Backdrops! Mixing Broadleaved Evergreens, such as Boxwood and Hollies, seems to set off your dormant plants and grass combinations. A backdrop for others, Evergreens like Pines, Fir, and Spruce, and Japanese Yews, Distylium, and the vast array of Junipers, create harmony among your winter garden beds. Oak trees are one of our favorite winter browns with amazing character. Many varieties of Oak hold their leaves until spring, retaining their honey-hued foliage for interest, screening, rustling sounds, and backdrops in your landscape. Embrace the Challenge! Harvest hues, antique golds, sultry sepia, warm wheat, saddle, and sand. The far-reaching palette of the color brown just may have you enjoy seeing the temperatures drop!  Create a garden that’s the envy of the neighborhood (and neighborhood wildlife) today. Now is a great time to find plants that increase the aesthetics of your home and extend your garden enjoyment all winter long!  So when the snow flies, bundle up and let Nature Hills Nursery help you incorporate this vastly underused color into your landscape and embrace beloved brown!

Are you looking for that perfectly unique gift that brings instant joy to a loved one’s holiday season? Our Florist Azaleas are just what you have been searching for! Whether you are gifting this flower or decide to keep it for yourself, they bring that missing extra holiday cheer nonetheless. Follow along with Nature Hills as we get you prepared for the holiday season! Quick Rundown Of What Azaleas Are Which Potted Azalea Is The Gift For You? Wooden Boxed Gifts Azalea Wreath Azalea Topiary #ProPlantTips On Growing Azaleas Quick Rundown Of What Azaleas Are Many individuals get Azalea flowering shrubs mixed up with the genus Rhododendrons. It’s uncomplicated to know why since they are in the same plant genus!  But, Azaleas have tubular or funnel-shaped blossoms and only a single flower per stem. Don’t worry, there are many stems though so the plants are completely covered with flowers when in bloom! A simple, yet intriguing design that several gardeners fall instantly in love with.  They also have 5 stamens compared to the Rhododendrons 10, and thinner, more pliable leaves rather than thicker, more leathery leaves. There are two divergent types of these specific shrubs: deciduous Azaleas and evergreen Azaleas.  Deciduous plants lose their leaves in the fall season, but are generally tougher in colder growing zones. They also like to stretch out above evergreen Azaleas to show off that they can grow taller. If you want strictly tubular shapes, deciduous should be the prime choice. Evergreens retain all or most of their foliage year-round. They luxuriate and perform well in the warmer growing zones. With petal shapes including: strap-like, star form, and round flowers-- evergreens have a larger variety. However, these Florist Azaleas are a series of hybrid Azaleas that offer bi-colored double flowers, ruffles and so many more options in color than the outdoor selections.  Elegant if you ask me and a not-so-much type of Azalea. It simply means they are shipped bud and bloom after being forced to bloom under controlled greenhouse conditions! So, no need to wonder when your Azalea will bloom.  This means you immediately get to enjoy the wondrous blossoms they have to offer in incredible looking pots, vases, etc.! Which Potted Azalea Is The Gift For You? You’ll want to admire these every chance you can get and with so many choices, a person may want them all!

The 6 inch modern wooden planter even brings in some farmhouse charm! This present offers a festive balance of old charm with new refinement.  So you’ve come to the decision that Azaleas are thoughtful gifts that would easily make someone special’s day?  Fantastic, us too!  Year after year, these gifts keep on giving as new blossoms spread their wings to show off vibrant colors.  Everyday Azaleas offer various colors and forms to select from! Therefore, you can mix n’ match, correlate or even color coordinate them with the rest of your home. Blush, crimson, ivory; you name it! Even choose the look of the stem as they range from short and boxed to tall and braided. A quick snatch of a view here and there over the weeks will remind the lucky individual of their gift-giver. Most likely will even produce a smile or two following the thought. When the flowers begin to fade for a small rest before next year, the deep green foliage will remain strong, healthy, and handsome to continue on the visually appealing aura.  Just one of many positives from growing gift Azaleas! #ProPlantTips On Growing Azaleas It’s essential to your plant gift that it gets the proper care or maybe you’ve decided to keep this pretty Azalea for yourself to embask in its beauty. We are right there with you! So how do you keep it alive? Since these unique Azalea specimens grow in in decorative pots, no need to worry about the outdoors. In fact, if you plant them in an Azalea garden outside, they unfortunately may not thrive. First, find the prime sunny location inside your home where the Azalea can kindly greet guests as well as get the indirect full sun light exposure it needs. Along with being placed in a nice, cool room away from any major cold drafts.  Second, let’s nail the proper watering tactics for your flower gift. They enjoy moist potting soils so that they are never thirsty. The nursery pots your flower gift will show up in will have drainage holes, which is exactly what you're looking for when it comes to watering.  How does one tell if their Azalea needs water? Easy! The finger soil test has you stick one whole finger into the soil. If it’s dry to touch, add water.  Our best recommendation is to water the gift EVERY day. Now that may seem like a lot, but what can we say? Azalea gifts are thirsty plants. If you forget about watering for a day, it’ll begin to wilt. But, don’t give up that soon. Give it a good soak and it will most likely perk back up again. Flowers and everything! However, leaving your Azalea unattended for even a couple of days may result in drying that is beyond recovery. You will quickly learn how fast these flowers need water, so once you get that routine down you will know how often you may need to add more water. Third, pruning can be put to use or put on the backburner if needed. Azaleas grow well with little to no pruning.  If you do decide to prune, make sure it happens directly after they are finished blooming. You don’t want to chop off the new buds forming for the next flowering season! It’s as easy as 1 2 3. These steps will have you a breathtaking flower gift either in the comfort of your own home or with a loved one! Happy Azalea gift growing!

It’s time to let the tree out of the box..Broadleaved Evergreens are here and have earned their way to the garden’s heart. With so much as providing color YEAR ROUND, how could they not be all the rage?  Whether they serve as a simple backdrop to your other plants or are placed as the main focus in a landscape, Broadleaved Evergreens will work hard either way. You’ll appreciate the winter interest appeal they bring to a landscape so effortlessly too! So, gear up for a fresh winter landscape headed your way with the help of Nature Hills (and this blog)! What Is A Broadleaved Evergreen? But first things first-- what’s the difference between a regular Evergreen and a Broadleaf Evergreen?  There are two types of Evergreens: those with needles and those with broad leaves. All broadleaved plants are those that have relatively flat leaves for a large surface area instead of having leaves that are needles. Needle Evergreens are easier to identify, but a few known options include: Spruce, Pines and Junipers.  Also, note that the words ‘broadleaf’ and ‘evergreen’ are not opposites. In fact, this blog is proof of that! There are several evergreen plants that are also labeled as broadleaf shrubs, despite not having the characteristic of needle-bearing leaves.  Let’s explore some of Nature Hills’ favorite Broadleaf Evergreens below:  Which Broadleaved Evergreen Is For My Garden? With a few different choices, it can be hard to know which Broadleaved Evergreen is for you! The good news is that you can’t go wrong with adding any combination of them to a garden. To make it easier, we’ve highlighted the very best parts of each Broadleaf Evergreen in this blog.  Boxwoods You know them. You love them. You can’t beat them. Boxwoods are one of the most cold hardy Broadleaved Evergreen shrubs you can find, which makes them relatively ideal for just about any home in any growing zone.  The shiny, glossy green leaves will keep their color year-round, even in zones that see snow and frigid temperatures. It’s almost as if you have your very own winter wonderland right outside the window! You can find Boxwoods that spread in form, such as a Winter Gem Boxwood, or go for one that has an upright shape to it, like a Rotundifolia Boxwood.  Don’t like the shape of your Boxwood? That’s easy to fix! This Broadleaved Evergreen is perfect for shearing to create formal hedges or pyramidal specimens. However, they will even look great when let to grow naturally as well.  Holly Bushes Holly Bushes are prized leading up to and during the holiday season. We can’t argue why! Their dark green colored shiny leaves come to an aggressive point while brilliantly red berries appear to steal the show away.  People love to use the Holly Bush’s branches and bright red berries as winter decorations outdoors and even indoors! Imagine having a holiday party and your guests cannot stop commenting on the fresh, festive decorations in the living room.  Holly Bushes are also versatile. Choose from spreading forms to upright forms. And, you can place them just about anywhere as a: formal hedge row, foundation plant, or understory to large trees!  Even without a yard, you can count on this Broadleaved Evergreen. The narrow styles of these will grow pleasantly in outdoor containers! Take that apartment next door.  Rhododendron Introducing the infamous Broadleaved Evergreen shrub, the Rhododendron. When most people hear the word Rhododendron, they immediately jump to the giant springtime flowers that are so profuse in color they make you second guess if they are real.  While this much is true, just like their fellow friends, these shrubs also hold an eye-catching shiny green foliage all year long keeping the visual interest going in a timeless manner.  Use them just as you would any other evergreen shrub, but this time expect an added bonus of incredible flower displays! Remember that Broadleaved Evergreens are all the rage for a rightful reason! They offer the year-round interest gardeners crave that keep their landscape looking healthy even during the winter season.  So, next time you’re faced with adding color to the outdoors, think of Broadleaved Evergreens from Nature Hills!
