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
Give African Daisies as much sun as possible, as strong light encourages the richest colour and the heaviest flowering. Rotate containers occasionally so all sides receive equal sunlight, helping the plant maintain an even, rounded form.
How to Water
Water African Daisies regularly while it establishes, keeping the soil lightly moist without becoming soggy. Once settled, allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings to encourage strong, healthy growth.
How to Plant
Plant Osteospermum in a sunny, sheltered spot with well‑drained soil, setting each plant at the same depth as it was in its original pot. Firm the soil gently around the roots to help the plant establish and ensure good contact with the surrounding compost.
