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
Train Pyracantha against walls or fences by tying young branches to supports; this enhances its structure and encourages dense growth.
How to Water
Water Pyracantha deeply after planting and regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, water only during dry periods, ensuring the soil doesn’t become overly saturated.
How to Plant
Plant Pyracantha in well-drained, fertile soil in a sunny or partially shaded location. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball, place the plant, and backfill with soil. Firm gently and water well. Space plants 60-90cm apart for hedges or as desired for individual growth.
