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.

How to Water
Water Honeyberry regularly during its first growing season, keeping the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Once established, it only needs occasional watering in dry spells to stay healthy and productive.
How to Plant
Plant Lonicera in well‑drained soil, setting it at the same depth it was growing in its pot and firming the soil gently around the roots. Water thoroughly after planting, then keep the soil lightly moist as the shrub settles into its new position.
