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 sunny position and plant asters in fertile, well-draining soil. If needed, add some horticultural grit to the hole before planting to help improve drainage and dig in some garden compost. Position the plant in the hole and backfill, firming gently as you go, then water in well. Leave around 30cm between plants.
