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
Calibrachoa benefit from regular feeding—use a balanced liquid fertiliser every couple of weeks to support nonstop blooms. No need to deadhead, as flowers self-clean, but trimming back straggly stems mid-season can refresh the display and promote fullness.
How to Water
Keep compost consistently moist but not soggy. These plants dry out quickly in containers, especially in hot weather, so check daily and water thoroughly when the top layer feels dry. Good drainage is key to preventing root rot and encouraging healthy growth.
How to Plant
Plant Calibrachoa in hanging baskets or containers filled with well-draining compost. Choose a bright, sunny location for best flowering results, though they’ll tolerate light shade. Allow space for the plant to trail naturally, creating a cascading effect of colour.
