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.

How to Plant
Choose a bright spot and plant fennel in full sun in well-draining soil. Water the plant, dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball and position it in the hole, taking care not to disturb the roots too much. Backfill with soil and compost, firming down gently and water in well. Leave around 30cm between plants.
