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
For the best show of flowers, plant cosmos in full sun in moist but well-draining soil. Hold off until the risk of frost has passed then dig a hole slightly larger than the nursery pot. Carefully tease out the roots and position the plant in the hole before backfilling it to the same depth as it was planted in the container. Gently firm the soil down and water in well.
