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
Acanthus doesn’t cope well with transplanting, so choose your spot carefully and avoid moving the plant unnecessarily.
How to Water
Water regularly until the plant is fully established, after which it should only need thoroughly watered during particularly dry spells.
How to Plant
Plant in a sunny spot in light, well-draining soil. In spring or autumn, dig a hole twice the size of the roots and add in some organic matter. Gently tease out the roots and position the plant in the hole, backfilling with a mix of soil and organic matter. Carefully firm the soil down and water well.
