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.

Instructions
Top Tip
Thalictrum thrives in rich, slightly acidic soil. Add compost to improve soil texture and moisture retention. Regularly remove dead flowers to encourage more blooms and maintain a tidy appearance.
How to Water
Water Thalictrum regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely. Once established, it can tolerate some drought but prefers consistently moist conditions for optimal growth.
How to Plant
Choose a partially shaded spot with moist, well-draining soil. Dig a hole large enough for the root ball, place the plant, and backfill with soil. Firm gently and water thoroughly. Space plants 45-60cm apart to allow for their tall growth and airy form.
