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
Prune Redcurrant plants after harvesting to remove old wood, encouraging better fruit production for the next season.
How to Water
Water Redcurrants regularly, especially during dry spells. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, ensuring good drainage to prevent root rot.
How to Plant
Plant Redcurrant bushes in a sunny or partially shaded spot with well-drained soil. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the roots, then place the plant at the same depth it was in its pot. Backfill with soil, firm gently, and water well.
