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.

Instructions
Top Tip
Deadhead Erigeron regularly to encourage continuous blooming. It thrives in poor, well-drained soils, making it ideal for rock gardens or borders.
How to Water
Water newly planted Erigeron regularly until established. Once mature, water only during prolonged dry spells, as they prefer dry to moderately moist soil. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
How to Plant
Plant Erigeron in well-drained soil with full sun to light shade. Space plants 30-45cm apart. Prepare the soil by loosening it, and dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball. Place the plant, backfill, and gently firm the soil. Water thoroughly after planting.
