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
Hard pruning can result in a lack of berries being produced, so only prune lightly in spring to remove dead or damaged branches.
How to Water
Water regularly for the first year. After this, contoneaster is drought tolerant and only needs to be watered during dry spells.
How to Plant
Cotoneasters grow well in a range of soil types but prefer moist, well-draining soil. They thrive in full sun or partial shade and are best planted out in autumn, while the soil is still warm but doesn’t dry out too quickly. Dig in plenty of organic matter and create a hole slightly bigger than the nursery pot. Position the plant, ensuring the top of the root ball is at soil level. Backfill the hole with soil and compost, firming down as you go, and water in well.
