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.

Propagating every 2-3 years helps prevent congestion and gives acorus room to grow. Divide in spring, replanting as soon as possible and watering in well.
How to Water
Water frequently, ensuring the soil stays wet or damp and never dries out.
How to Plant
Acorus plants flourish in poorly drained, wet soils and are ideal for planting in boggy areas or around ponds. Choose a bright, sunny spot and leave 30-90cm between plants.
