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
If you find your hostas are being eaten by slugs and snails, brunnera is a fantastic alternative.
How to Water
Water young plants regularly until they are fully established. After this, water during particularly dry spells, especially if the plant isn’t in a shady spot.
How to Plant
Brunnera is a shade loving plant, so choose a cool spot and plant in moist but well-draining soil. Weed the area thoroughly and dig a hole slightly bigger than the root ball. Dig in some organic matter and position the plant in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is at soil level before backfilling, firming down gently as you go. Water in well.
