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
Saxifraga thrives in cool, shaded areas with good air circulation. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent scorching the leaves.
How to Water
Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Saxifraga prefers consistently damp soil, especially during hot weather, but avoid overwatering.
How to Plant
Plant Saxifraga in a well-draining, slightly acidic soil in a shady or partial-shade spot. Dig a hole slightly bigger than the root ball, place the plant, and fill with soil. Space plants about 20-30cm apart to allow room for growth.
