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
Pachysandra thrives in shady areas and can suppress weeds, making it an excellent low-maintenance ground cover. Trim in spring to control spread and encourage healthy growth.
How to Water
Water thoroughly after planting and regularly during the first season to establish roots. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once established, Pachysandra is drought-tolerant and requires less frequent watering.
How to Plant
Plant Pachysandra in well-drained, rich soil in partial to full shade. Space plants 30cm apart for good ground coverage. Dig a hole as deep as the root ball, place the plant, and backfill gently. Add a layer of mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
