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
Deadhead frequently and trim back any leggy stems to encourage fresh blooms and a fuller shape. Feed every 10–14 days with a high-potash fertiliser to support continuous flowering and keep your baskets looking bold and brilliant all season.
How to Water
Water regularly to keep compost evenly moist, especially during hot or breezy weather. Baskets dry out quickly, so check daily in summer. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent soggy roots and maintain healthy, vigorous flowering.
How to Plant
Plant Petunia basket varieties in free-draining, nutrient-rich compost and position in a sunny, sheltered spot. These trailing or spreading plants are ideal for hanging baskets and containers, where their profusion of vibrant blooms can cascade beautifully throughout the summer.
