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
Deadhead spent blooms and trim back straggly stems to encourage a flush of new flowers. Brachyscome is a low-maintenance choice for bright summer colour, loved for its long-lasting blooms and soft, airy foliage that works well in mixed plantings.
How to Water
Water regularly to keep the soil lightly moist, especially during hot or dry spells. Brachyscome are relatively drought-tolerant once established but benefit from consistent moisture in containers. Avoid overwatering to prevent root issues and encourage strong flowering.
How to Plant
Plant Brachyscome in well-drained, light compost in a sunny or lightly shaded position. These compact, mound-forming plants are ideal for borders, rockeries, and containers, offering masses of small, daisy-like flowers. Space plants 20–25cm apart to allow for natural spreading.
