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
To encourage a bushier growth habit and a more prolific autumn display, pinch out the growing tips of your purple Chrysanthemum in early summer. Once the foliage dies back in late autumn, apply a thick layer of dry mulch over the crown to protect it from harsh winter frosts.
How to Water
Give your purple Chrysanthemum a thorough soaking immediately after planting to settle the earth and eliminate any air pockets around the roots. Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged throughout the growing season, taking care to water directly at the base to prevent fungal issues on the foliage.
How to Plant
Select a sunny spot with well-drained soil and dig a hole that comfortably fits the root ball of your purple Chrysanthemum. Carefully place the plant so the crown sits perfectly level with the surrounding ground, then backfill and lightly firm the soil to secure it.
