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
Fuchsias respond especially well to gentle early sun, so placing them where they catch the first light of the day can make a noticeable difference to growth. This morning warmth encourages tighter, more compact development and helps bring out richer colour in the blooms.
How to Water
Keep the compost evenly moist, giving the plant a thorough drink whenever the top layer begins to dry slightly. During warm or breezy weather Fuchsias may need more frequent attention, while cooler spells call for lighter watering to prevent the roots from sitting in excess moisture.
How to Plant
Plant Fuchsia in a container or basket filled with fresh, free‑draining compost, setting the rootball level with the surface. Firm it in gently, water well, and place it in a bright, lightly sheltered spot to help it establish and start producing new growth.
