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
Prune Syringa after flowering to maintain shape and promote more blooms. Remove dead or damaged branches and cut back the oldest wood to encourage new growth.
How to Water
Water Syringa plants regularly during the first year to establish deep roots. Once established, water during dry periods, but avoid overwatering. Allow the soil to dry between waterings. Syringa prefers well-drained, slightly dry conditions.
How to Plant
Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and the same depth. Place the plant in the hole, backfill with soil, and firm gently. Water thoroughly after planting. Space plants 120-180cm apart to allow for growth.
