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
Trim back lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage fresh growth. Lavender attracts pollinators, repels pests, and adds lasting scent to your garden—ideal for Mediterranean-style displays in baskets and pots.
How to Water
Water sparingly, allowing the compost to dry slightly between waterings. Lavender prefers dry conditions and is highly drought-tolerant once established. Avoid overwatering or waterlogged baskets, which can lead to root rot and poor growth.
How to Plant
Plant lavender in free-draining compost in a sunny, sheltered position. While not a traditional basket plant, compact lavender varieties can thrive in hanging baskets or raised containers, where their aromatic foliage and soft purple flowers bring a fragrant, cottage-style charm.
