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
Heathers look best when planted in clusters. A group of three or more creates a stronger visual effect and helps with pollination (early bees love Heather for its rich nectar!)
How to Water
Water Erica Heather regularly for the first season or two. Once the roots are well-established, the plant is relatively drought tolerant and only needs to be watered during particularly dry spells.
How to Plant
Choose a spot in full sun or partial shade and dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball. Place the Heather plant in the hole and fill with compost, firming down gently as you go. Water in well.
