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
Helleborus thrives in shaded areas and blooms in late winter to early spring, adding colour when most plants are dormant. Trim old leaves in late winter to showcase flowers.
How to Water
Water Helleborus regularly to keep the soil moist but not soggy, especially during dry spells. Once established, they are drought-tolerant but benefit from consistent watering in their first year.
How to Plant
Plant Helleborus in well-draining, humus-rich soil in partial to full shade. Dig a hole deep enough to accommodate the root ball and plant with the crown at soil level. Space plants 30-45cm apart and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
