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
Deadhead regularly to extend blooming and prevent self-seeding. Erysimum thrives in poor to moderately fertile soils.
How to Water
Water newly planted Erysimum regularly until established. Afterward, water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, as they prefer not to sit in wet soil.
How to Plant
Plant Erysimum in well-drained soil in a sunny location. Dig a hole large enough for the root ball, place the plant, and backfill with soil. Ensure good air circulation to prevent disease. Water well after planting.
