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
Halimium thrives in poor, dry soils and needs little care. Avoid fertilizing, as rich soils can inhibit flowering and reduce the plant's natural resilience.
How to Water
Halimium is drought-tolerant once established. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as it can cause root rot in this hardy plant.
How to Plant
Plant Halimium in well-draining, sandy or rocky soil in a location with full sun. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant at the same depth as it was in its container, and backfill. Water lightly after planting to settle the soil.
