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 spent flowers and trim back dead stems to promote more blooms and maintain a compact shape.
How to Water
Water Dianthus plants regularly, keeping the soil slightly moist. Avoid overwatering, as they prefer well-drained soil. Water deeply during dry spells, but let the soil dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.
How to Plant
Plant Dianthus in well-drained soil with good sunlight. Space plants 15-30cm apart. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, place the plant, and fill the hole with soil. Gently firm the soil around the base and water thoroughly.
