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
Harvest young leaves regularly to promote bushy fresh new growth.
How to Water
Water regularly during the first season and less often once established. Bear in mind that container grown plants need to be watered more frequently than those in the ground.
How to Plant
Mint spreads vigorously, so grow it in containers or patio pots to keep it under control. Use fertile, well-draining soil and position the plants in full sun or partial shade. Avoid planting different flavours of mint close together as they can lose their distinct scents.
