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
Skimmia thrives in shaded areas and can be used as an evergreen hedge or ground cover. To promote healthy growth, prune dead or damaged stems after flowering.
How to Water
Water Skimmia regularly, especially in dry periods. Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Avoid over-watering, as Skimmia prefers slightly drier conditions once established.
How to Plant
Plant Skimmia in acidic, well-draining soil in a shaded or partially shaded location. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, place the plant, and backfill with soil. Space plants 60-90cm apart. Mulch around the base to retain moisture.
