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
Crocosmia thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Divide clumps every 3-4 years to prevent overcrowding and promote better blooming.
How to Water
Water Crocosmia regularly during the growing season, especially during dry spells. Ensure the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Once established, they are drought-tolerant but still benefit from occasional watering.
How to Plant
Plant Crocosmia in well-drained soil, 7-10cm inches deep, and space them 15-30cm apart. Choose a sunny spot to ensure strong blooms. Plant in early spring, after the last frost, to give them time to establish before flowering.
