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
Trim Santolina back in early spring to encourage fresh growth and maintain a tidy, compact shape.
How to Water
Water Santolina sparingly, as it is drought-tolerant once established. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings, and avoid overwatering, which can cause root rot.
How to Plant
Plant Santolina in well-drained soil with full sun exposure. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball and position the plant, filling with soil. Space plants 45-60cm apart to allow for growth. Avoid heavy, clayey soils.
