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
Liriope thrives in low-maintenance areas with moderate moisture. Cut back old foliage in early spring for fresh growth.
How to Water
Water Liriope regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Once established, Liriope is somewhat drought-tolerant but benefits from consistent moisture. Avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot.
How to Plant
Plant Liriope in well-draining soil with partial to full shade. Dig a hole that’s twice the size of the root ball, and space plants 30-45cm apart. Place the plant in the hole, backfill with soil, and firm it gently around the roots.
