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
Remove faded flowers and yellowing leaves to encourage continuous blooming and maintain a neat appearance. Feed every couple of weeks with a high-potash fertiliser to support vibrant colour and prolonged flowering throughout the season.
How to Water
Water regularly during dry periods, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Geraniums are drought-tolerant once established and dislike waterlogged roots. In containers, check moisture frequently and ensure proper drainage to support healthy blooming.
How to Plant
Plant geranium bedding plants in well-drained, fertile soil in a sunny position for best flowering results. These compact, upright plants are perfect for borders, containers, or mass bedding displays. Space plants 20–30cm apart to allow airflow and encourage bushy, even growth.
