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
Prune Osmanthus lightly in spring to maintain its shape and encourage dense growth. Its fragrant flowers are a bonus in gardens with sheltered conditions.
How to Water
Water regularly during the first year to establish roots, keeping the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Once established, Osmanthus is drought-tolerant but benefits from deep watering during prolonged dry periods.
How to Plant
Plant Osmanthus in well-draining soil. Choose a sunny or partially shaded spot sheltered from strong winds. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, position the plant, backfill with soil, and firm gently. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
