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
To guarantee Hydrangea Endless Summer The Original Pink keeps its vibrant pink color, you must grow it in sweet, alkaline soil! If your dirt naturally leans acidic, sprinkle garden lime around the base to stop the beautiful blooms from turning a murky purple or blue.
How to Water
To keep hydrangeas thriving, maintain consistently moist but well-drained soil. Water deeply at the base of the plant 2–3 times a week to reach the roots while keeping foliage dry to prevent disease. During intense summer heat, they may need daily attention to prevent wilting. Avoid overhead sprinkling and stagnant water, as "wet feet" can cause root rot. A layer of mulch helps retain necessary moisture and regulate ground temperature.
How to Plant
Dig a hole twice as wide as the pot for Hydrangea Endless Summer The Original Pink, ensuring the crown is perfectly flush with the soil line. Mix rich compost into the backfill dirt to help establish its roots, then press the earth firmly around to remove air pockets and water deeply.
