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
Use water-retaining crystals in the soil to keep basket plants hydrated longer, especially in hot weather, and deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering.
How to Water
Water basket plants regularly, ensuring the soil stays moist but not waterlogged. Check daily in warm weather, as baskets dry out quickly. Water until it drains through, and avoid wetting leaves to prevent disease.
How to Plant
Choose a basket or bedding location with consistently good conditions, Use a lightweight, well-draining potting mix. Position plants evenly, leaving space to grow. Fill gaps with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly after planting.
