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
Remove flower stalks as they appear to encourage the plant to continue producing fresh new leaves for harvesting.
How to Water
Water regularly until well established. After this, ground planted sorrel is drought tolerant, but container-grown plants need to be watered more often.
How to Plant
In late spring or early summer, plant sorrel in the ground or in containers in moist but well-draining soil. Choose a spot in full sun or partial shade and leave around 30cm between plants.
