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
Eryngium prefers poor, well-draining soil and minimal fertilization for best growth and blooms. Deadhead to encourage prolonged flowering.
How to Water
Water sparingly once established, as Eryngium thrives in dry conditions. Avoid waterlogging by allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Young plants need regular watering until roots develop.
How to Plant
Plant Eryngium in well-draining, sandy soil with full sun exposure. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant, and backfill firmly. Avoid overly rich soil, as it may reduce flowering. Space plants to ensure good airflow.
