Product description
Gojiberry Little Goji is a compact fruit plant, making it ideal for smaller gardens and terraces. It grows well in the ground but is also suitable for container gardening and is perfect for a south-facing patio or balcony.
Goji berries are bursting with vitamins, antioxidants, and amino acids, earning them the title of a superfood. They are red-orange in colour with an oval shape and a sweet and sour flavour often compared to cranberries. The berries can be enjoyed dried or fresh from the plant. They are also widely used to make juices and herbal teas.
This pollinator-friendly garden plant produces lilac-purple star-shaped flowers throughout summer. It boasts rich green, slender, lanceolate leaves and, unlike larger Gogi Berry varieties, very few thorns or spines. Gojiberry Little Goji plants tolerate light shade but crop heaviest in full sun. They are hardy, undemanding plants that grow well in most soil types.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
