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
Deadhead spent blooms on verbena regularly to encourage continuous flowering throughout the season. This helps the plant focus its energy on producing new flowers.
How to Water
Water verbena regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, it’s drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional watering during dry spells. Avoid overwatering, as verbena prefers slightly dry soil.
How to Plant
Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant, and backfill with soil. Firm gently and water thoroughly. Space plants 30-45cm apart for proper air circulation. Add mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
