From Spring through to early Autumn, the light purple shades will appear and, in order to ensure these thrive, the plant needs good care.

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.

Water Rosemary plants moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as they prefer drier conditions. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
