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
Keep an eye out for slugs in spring, as new Hosta shoots are especially tempting. Preventative measures, such as applying broken egg shells to the soil around the plant, early on make a big difference.
How to Water
Water Plantain Lily regularly during its first growing season to help it establish a strong root system. Once settled, keep the soil consistently moist, giving extra water in warm or dry weather so the foliage stays lush and healthy.
How to Plant
Choose a spot with partial to full shade and dig a hole slightly wider than the rootball. Set the Hosta plant in so the crown sits level with the soil surface, then backfill, firm gently, and water well. Adding a layer of mulch afterwards helps keep the soil cool and encourages strong, healthy growth.
