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
Staking Delphiniums is essential to support their tall stems, especially in windy areas.
How to Water
Water Delphiniums consistently, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage, which can lead to disease.
How to Plant
Plant Delphinium in well-drained, fertile soil with full sun. Space plants 45-60cm apart. Dig a hole deep enough to accommodate the root ball, place the plant, and cover with soil. Water well after planting and mulch to keep the roots cool.
