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
Remove faded flowers to extend the blooming period and maintain a tidy appearance. Primroses are perfect for early-season colour and pair beautifully with violas, pansies, and other spring bedding favourites for a vibrant seasonal display.
How to Water
Water regularly to keep soil consistently moist, especially in dry spells. Primroses dislike drying out but also won’t thrive in soggy soil, so ensure proper drainage. Container displays may need more frequent watering to keep blooms fresh.
How to Plant
Plant Primrose bedding plants in moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil in a sunny or lightly shaded position. These compact, colourful plants are ideal for borders, containers, or spring bedding displays. Space plants 15–20cm apart to create a dense, cheerful carpet of colour.
