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
Prune Deutzia after blooming to shape the plant and remove any dead or damaged wood for better airflow and more vibrant flowers next season.
How to Water
Water Deutzia regularly, especially during dry periods, but allow the soil to dry between waterings. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, as Deutzia prefers slightly moist, not soggy, conditions.
How to Plant
Plant Deutzia in well-drained, slightly acidic soil with full to partial sunlight. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, place the plant in the hole, and backfill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch to retain moisture.
