To keep this perennial blooming continuously, position it in a spot that receives full, direct sunlight and plant it in a rich, well-draining loam. Maintain a consistent watering schedule so the soil remains moist but never waterlogged, and aggressively deadhead any faded flowers to prevent seed production and encourage endless new buds.

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.
