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.

How to Plant
Plant Phlox in well-drained, fertile soil in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, place the plant in, and backfill with soil. Space plants about 45cm apart to allow for growth.
