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
Hesperantha benefits from being planted in a sheltered spot to protect it from strong winds, which can damage its tall stems.
How to Water
Water Hesperantha regularly during the growing season, keeping the soil moderately moist but not soggy. Water at the base to avoid wetting the foliage, especially during hot weather.
How to Plant
Plant Hesperantha in well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Choose a sunny spot with good airflow. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the roots, place the plant, and cover the roots with soil. Space them 30-45cm apart for optimal growth.
