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
Lomandra is ideal for low-maintenance gardens, as it thrives in both dry and coastal conditions.
How to Water
Water Lomandra regularly during the first growing season to help it establish. Once established, it is drought-tolerant, but occasional watering during dry periods will keep it healthy.
How to Plant
Plant Lomandra in well-draining soil, either in full sun or partial shade. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, place the plant in, and fill with soil. Gently firm the soil around the roots and water thoroughly.
