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
Carex is a low maintenance plant that doesn’t demand much attention to thrive. However, an annual feed in late spring to early summer will help boost healthy growth.
How to Water
Water regularly during the first growing season. After this, carex is drought tolerant and only needs to be watered during particularly dry spells.
How to Plant
Plant carex in full sun or partial shade in moderately fertile moist, but not waterlogged, soil. Dig a hole slightly bigger than the root ball and add in some organic matter. Carefully tease out the roots and position the plant in the hole before backfilling with soil and compost. Firm the soil down gently and water in well.
