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 Veronica plants to encourage continuous flowering throughout the season. This keeps the plant looking tidy and promotes longer bloom times.
How to Water
Water Veronica plants regularly to keep the soil evenly moist during the first growing season. Once established, they’re moderately drought-tolerant but benefit from consistent watering during dry periods. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
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 to allow for spreading. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
