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
Osteospermum responds well to a light feed every couple of weeks, with balanced liquid fertiliser providing a steady lift that supports strong growth and a generous run of blooms. A quiet turn of containers now and then complements this, giving each plant even light exposure and encouraging a naturally tidy, well‑balanced shape.
How to Water
Water Osteospermum regularly during dry spells, allowing the compost to drain freely between each watering to prevent saturation. Consistent moisture supports continuous flowering, while avoiding over‑watering helps maintain the plant’s naturally compact, healthy growth.
How to Plant
Plant African Daisies into well‑drained compost, allowing around 20-25cm between each plant so the roots have room to establish without competition. Position in full sun and water thoroughly after planting to support quick establishment and strong early growth.
