Its hardiness means it continues to perform well in an array of conditions, whilst bringing excellent flavour to many meals.
Planting soon after arrival is recommended. This will revitalise the crowns, promoting new growth ahead of their upcoming growing season. You can place them in pots, planters, containers or in bedding and more. Situate them in an open, sunny spot of the garden at intervals of 90cm. Maintain fertile, moist and well-drained soil, whilst keeping them well watered in Spring and Summer.
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.
