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.

Water regularly, especially while the plant is settling in, aiming to keep the soil consistently moist but not overly wet
How to Plant
Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball and water it thoroughly. Gently remove the plant from the pot, loosen any tangled roots, and place it in the hole. Gently backfill the soil and compost, firming down gently, then water in well.
