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
Avoid overcrowding in baskets and containers. Nemesia performs far better when air can move around the foliage, reducing heat stress and keeping the plant tidy.
How to Water
Water Cape Jewels regularly during dry spells to keep the soil lightly moist. Avoid overwatering, as the plant prefers free‑draining conditions that prevent the roots from sitting in excess moisture.
How to Plant
Plant Nemesia in well‑drained soil, setting each plant at the same depth as it was in its original pot. Space plants around 20-25cm apart, positioning them in a sunny or lightly shaded spot, and firm the soil gently around the roots.
