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.

How to Water
Water Rudbeckia regularly, especially during dry spells. While they are drought-tolerant once established, they prefer consistent moisture. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot, ensuring the soil is well-drained.
How to Plant
Plant Rudbeckia in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant in, and fill the hole with soil. Water thoroughly after planting and space plants about 30-45cm apart to allow for growth.
