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
Prune heathers annually after flowering to prevent them from becoming woody and to encourage fresh, compact growth. Cut back faded blooms, but avoid cutting into old wood, as it may not regrow.
How to Water
Water heathers deeply after planting and regularly during their first year to establish roots, especially in dry weather. Once established, they require minimal watering, as they prefer slightly dry conditions. Avoid overwatering, as soggy soil can cause root rot. Water early in the morning or late in the evening to reduce evaporation.
How to Plant
To plant heathers, choose a sunny spot with well-draining, acidic soil. Soak the root ball before planting, then dig a hole twice its width and slightly shallower than its depth. Space plants 30-45cm apart, firm the soil, and water thoroughly. Add mulch to retain moisture and prevent weeds, keeping it away from the base.
