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
Digitalis prefers slightly acidic soil and benefits from a layer of mulch to retain moisture and keep roots cool.
How to Water
Water Digitalis regularly, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Water deeply at the base of the plant to encourage deep root growth.
How to Plant
Plant Digitalis in well-drained, fertile soil in a location with partial to full sun. Space them about 30cm apart. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant in, and backfill with soil, firming gently around the base.
