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
Birds love blueberries, so protect your crops with netting, especially as they ripen.
How to Water
Keep blueberries well-watered, especially during the growing season. Avoid overwatering and use rainwater wherever possible.
How to Plant
Dig in plenty of acid-rich organic matter, such as pine needles and composted conifer bark, before planting blueberries in full sun in moist but well-draining soil. Choose a sheltered spot and bear in mind that while blueberries tolerate light shade, they provide more generous crops in full sun.
