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
Deadhead regularly to prolong blooming and maintain a tidy display. Feed every two weeks with a high-potash fertiliser to support continuous flowering and rich colour. Osteospermums thrive in sunny spots and make a bright, cheerful feature in baskets.
How to Water
Water regularly to keep compost evenly moist, especially during warm or windy weather. Allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings, and ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot or reduced flowering.
How to Plant
Plant Osteospermum basket varieties in well-drained, fertile compost and place in full sun for the best flowering. These trailing or semi-trailing plants are ideal for hanging baskets and containers, producing vibrant daisy-like blooms that open in sunlight and close at night.
