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
Remove faded flowers and yellowing leaves to keep the display tidy and prolong blooming. Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every two weeks for healthy growth and vibrant, continuous colour throughout the season.
How to Water
Water regularly to keep the compost evenly moist, especially in warm or windy conditions. Avoid waterlogging, as begonias are prone to root rot. Water at the base to protect the foliage and flowers from spotting and fungal issues caused by excess moisture.
How to Plant
Plant Begonia basket varieties in high-quality, free-draining compost and place in a sheltered location with partial shade. These trailing or upright plants are ideal for hanging baskets, window boxes, or raised containers where their blooms can spill gracefully over the edges.
