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
Leave spent flowers in place towards the end of the growing season to provide a valuable food source for birds.
How to Water
Water regularly for the first year. Once established, lavender only needs to be watered during particularly dry spells.
How to Plant
Plant lavender in full sun in light, well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball and boost the nutrients by adding in some organic matter. Water the hole, allowing it to drain well, then position the plant and backfill with soil, firming gently. Leave at least 35-45cm between plants and water in well.
