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
Deadhead faded flowers and trim back leggy growth to encourage fresh blooms and a fuller shape. Feed every two weeks with a high-potash fertiliser to maintain strong flowering and vibrant colour throughout the season.
How to Water
Water regularly to keep the compost evenly moist, especially during hot or breezy conditions. Baskets dry out quickly, so check daily. Ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot and poor flowering performance.
How to Plant
Plant Verbena basket varieties in well-drained, fertile compost and place in full sun for best flowering. These trailing plants are ideal for hanging baskets, window boxes, and containers, producing cascading clusters of vivid blooms that bring long-lasting summer colour.
