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
Honeyberries need cross-pollination for better fruit production, so plant at least two varieties nearby.
How to Water
Water Honeyberries consistently, especially during dry spells. Keep the soil evenly moist but well-drained. Avoid over-watering to prevent root rot. Mulch around the base to retain moisture.
How to Plant
Plant Honeyberries in well-drained, slightly acidic soil with full sun or partial shade. Space plants 60-90cm apart for optimal air circulation and growth. Dig a hole that’s twice the size of the root ball, place the plant, and cover with soil.
