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
Avoid giving Carex Bronze Curls a heavy trim before winter, as the older foliage helps protect the centre of the plant during colder weather. Leave its natural shape intact through the colder months, then in spring gently comb through the foliage with your fingers to remove any old or damaged blades. This helps fresh growth stand out while keeping the plant’s fine curls looking tidy without losing its graceful form.
How to Water
Water Carex Bronze Curls regularly after planting to help it establish, then allow the surface of the compost to dry slightly between waterings. Although it enjoys moisture, this evergreen Sedge does not like sitting in constantly wet compost, so make sure the basket drains freely, especially during cooler months when the plant uses less water.
How to Plant
Plant Carex Bronze Curls into a basket filled with good quality compost, spacing the individual plants evenly to create a full and balanced display as they grow. Gently remove each plant from the carry pack, place it at the same depth it was growing, firm the compost around the roots, and water well after planting to help them settle in. Position the basket in sun or partial shade where the fine bronze foliage can spill naturally over the edges.
