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
To keep sweet peas flowering for longer, remove faded blooms regularly or pick flowers often for display. This prevents the plant from setting seed and encourages more buds to form. Pinching young stems early also promotes bushier, more productive plants.
How to Water
Water sweet peas regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during flowering. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, and take care not to overwater. Water at the base of the plant to reduce the risk of mildew developing on the foliage.
How to Plant
Plant sweet peas in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny, sheltered location. Ensure they have support like canes, netting, or a trellis, as they naturally climb. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and keeps the roots cool during warmer months.
