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
Grevilleas thrive in sandy or acidic soils and attract birds with their vibrant flowers, making them an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens.
How to Water
Water Grevillea deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Grevilleas are drought-tolerant once established, so avoid overwatering, especially in cooler months.
How to Plant
Plant Grevillea in well-drained soil, ideally in a sunny spot. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, ensuring the plant sits level with the surrounding soil. Backfill with a mix of soil and sand, then water well to settle the soil.
