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
Verbascum prefers lean soil, so avoid over-fertilizing, which can lead to weak growth. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms and prevent the plant from self-seeding excessively.
How to Water
Water verbascum plants sparingly, as they are drought-tolerant once established. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to avoid root rot. Newly planted verbascum will need regular watering until roots are established.
How to Plant
Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant, and backfill with soil. Firm gently and water thoroughly. Space plants 45-60cm apart. Verbascum thrives in poor to moderately fertile soil and requires minimal care.
