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.

Top Tip
Cut back Perovskia in early spring to remove dead wood and encourage strong, fresh growth.
How to Water
Water regularly until established, then reduce frequency. Perovskia is drought-tolerant and prefers slightly dry conditions. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
How to Plant
Plant Perovskia in well-drained soil in full sun. Dig a hole about twice the size of the root ball, place the plant in the hole, and backfill with soil. Space plants 45-60cm apart to allow for airflow and prevent overcrowding.
