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
Pomegranates thrive in full sun and warm climates. Prune lightly in late winter to remove dead or crossing branches, encouraging better air circulation and fruit production.
How to Water
Water deeply once a week during the first year to establish roots. Mature plants are drought-tolerant but benefit from regular watering during flowering and fruiting. Avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot.
How to Plant
Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and as deep as the container. Place the plant at the same depth as it was growing before, backfill, and firm the soil. Water thoroughly and mulch to retain moisture and control weeds.
