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.

How to Plant
Hold off until the risk of frost has passed and plant campanula in full sun or partial shade in moist but well-draining soil. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, position the plant in the hole, and backfill with soil and compost, firming down gently as you go. Water in well. Leave 20-25cm between plants.
