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
Cheilanthes is perfect for growing in patio pots but place gravel in the bottom of the pot and use pot feet to ensure excellent drainage.
How to Water
Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
How to Plant
Choose a sheltered spot and enrich the soil with organic matter before digging a hole a little larger than the nursery pot. Plant in full sun in loose, well-draining soil, backfilling and firming down gently as you go. Water in well.
