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
Sedum thrives in dry, poor soil with excellent drainage—perfect for rock gardens. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
How to Water
Water Sedum sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. These drought-tolerant plants prefer minimal moisture and good drainage.
How to Plant
Plant Sedum in well-drained soil, preferably in a sunny spot. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant, and backfill with soil. Space plants 15-30cm apart to allow for growth.
