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
Leave a few seed heads on Purple Loosestrife at the end of the season to encourage a gentle, natural scattering of new plants the following year. As the seed heads dry and release, they’ll drop a light sprinkle of seedlings around the base, helping Lythrum Blush form a fuller, more natural-looking clump over time without becoming invasive.
How to Water
Water Lythrum Blush regularly during dry spells, keeping the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Once established, it becomes more tolerant of short dry periods, but steady moisture in early summer will help support strong, upright flower spikes.
How to Plant
Choose a sunny spot and prepare the soil by loosening it well and mixing in a little compost for added structure. Plant Lythrum Blush at the same depth as it was in its pot, firm the soil gently around the roots, and water thoroughly to help it settle in.
