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
Trim the Tickseed plant lightly in midsummer if it starts to look a bit tired, as this encourages a fresh flush of blooms.
How to Water
Water Tickseed regularly during its first few weeks after planting, keeping the soil lightly moist as it settles in. Once established, it’s quite drought-tolerant, so give it a thorough drink during dry spells to keep the foliage fresh and the flowers blooming strongly.
How to Plant
Gently remove Coreopsis from its pot and plant it in a sunny spot with well‑drained soil, keeping it at the same depth as before. Space plants around 30-40cm apart to give them room to grow, then firm the soil, water well, and let them settle in for a long season of colour.
