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.

Top Tip
Prune Hypericum in early spring to remove dead or damaged growth and encourage a dense, bushy shape.
How to Water
Water Hypericum deeply, keeping the soil consistently moist during the growing season. Once established, it is somewhat drought-tolerant but benefits from regular watering during dry spells.
How to Plant
Plant Hypericum in well-draining soil with full to partial sun. Space the plants 45-60cm apart. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant, and backfill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting.
