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
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms and divide clumps every 2-3 years to maintain vigor and prevent overcrowding.
How to Water
Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, as Helenium prefers moist conditions.
How to Plant
Plant Helenium in fertile, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter in a location that gets full sun. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball, place the plant, and fill with soil. Space plants 45-60cm apart for airflow. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
