3 Litre Plastic Plant Pots (Black Round) Pack of 50 by Elixir Gardens ®

Product Information

Climbing plants are used to cover arches, obelisks, pergolas, fences and buildings. They can also be used to cover up unsightly features and masonry. True climbers take up little ground space and are perfect for small gardens. Wall shrubs, on the other hand, require more ground space.

Some shrubs may show signs of reverted growth or ‘sporting’. This is where random shoots of different leaves associated with the plant’s parentage begin to appear. Most commonly this is where plants with variegated leaves sprout pure green growths instead of variegated ones. Most shrubs will grow happily in containers, but they will be much more demanding on feeding and watering than shrubs in the ground would be. They will also need potting on every couple of years so that they don’t suffocate or become stunted in their pot. A wide range of perennials are available in 2-litre pots, particularly when you buy them earlier in the season before they have put on growth. We offer a range of ‘feature size’ plants in 5-litre pots. These bigger plants are fantastic for providing immediate high impact colour in your garden, or placed in a pot on the patio as an instant feature plant. A 5L is Ideal for the production of bigger shrubs with a larger root capacity, these can be seen across our nursery but generally found within our garden centre sales.For deliveries the size of ours, this just doesn't make sense for us or for our international customers, and so we have made the difficult - but necessary - decision to stop selling our plants internationally. We do very much hope that this will be a temporary measure and look forward to resuming trading internationally in the future. Delivery Information Vulnerable climbers can be protected over the winter months by covering them in a layer of insulation, such as a garden fleece. Herbs grown by Hillier are available in the smallest 1-litre pot size, perfect for the requirements of these fragrant plants.

At crocus, we have over 30 different sizes of pots that plants and trees are grown in. Here is a simple guide to the different options (and some nice pics of Mike our webmeister). When digging the hole you shouldallow for around 30% increase in the pot size for depth and width so for example a 20 litre pot is 34cm diameter x 27cm depth - the planting hole should be around 44cm diameter x 35cm depth. The same calculation can be used if repotting into a larger pot on arrival. Our Tricolour Buddleia really is a fantastic plant, it is the very special Butterfly bush to have, as you'll get three different flower colours on the same plant - or at least that how it appears, as we have grown three different varieties together as one. As the plant develops, the branches intermingle, creating an intriguing mixed colour effect that will really get the neighbours talking!

5 Litre Pots:

The majority of our shrubs are available in 3-litre pots as their roots tend to be a little larger than the perennials. Later in the season, more of our perennials will be moved into 3-litre pots. Versatile, flexible and stylish, container plants provide instant colour and a fantastic way to experiment with different plants and designs. Planters, troughs and tubs are perfect for brightening up walls, fences and patios, helping to utilise all the available space in your garden. Once established, shrubs generally do not require much water. However, at first they need careful, frequent watering and should not be left to dry out. This is the size for semi-mature shrubs and small trees. They are good for large gardens and instant, dramatic impact.
