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
Trim back leggy growth and remove faded blooms to encourage continuous flowering and a compact, tidy shape. Feed every two weeks with a balanced liquid fertiliser to maintain strong flowering and enhance the rich blue and violet tones throughout the season.
How to Water
Water regularly to keep the compost evenly moist, particularly during hot weather or when baskets are in exposed areas. Avoid letting the compost dry out completely, and ensure baskets have good drainage to prevent waterlogging and root issues.
How to Plant
Plant Blue Shades in well-drained, nutrient-rich compost in hanging baskets or containers. This mixed trailing display blends cool-toned blues and purples, ideal for creating a calming, elegant effect. Place in full sun or partial shade for best colour vibrancy and growth.
