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
Don’t be concerned if your anemone appears to die back at the end of the growing season. This is perfectly normal, and it will flower just as prolifically the following year.
How to Water
Water thoroughly when planting then moderately until established. After this, anemones only need to be watered during particularly dry spells. Take care not to over-water.
How to Plant
Position anemones in full sun or partial shade in moist but well-draining soil. Plant as soon as possible after buying and water in well.
