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
Using Yarrow as a natural pollinator magnet is a simple way to draw bees towards nearby crops and herbs, helping the whole garden thrive. Later in the year, leaving a few stems standing provides sculptural winter seed heads that look great while also offering shelter for beneficial insects.
How to Water
Yarrow prefers light, infrequent watering once established, as it thrives in drier conditions. Allow the soil to dry between waterings to keep the plant healthy and prevent it becoming too lush or floppy.
How to Plant
Set Yarrow into a sunny, well‑drained spot with the crown level to the soil surface. Allow around 30-40cm between plants so each one can form a healthy, natural clump.
