FAQs
How do I know the size of the plant?
As is typical in Nursery and Garden Center sales, the plants are listed by the size of the container in which they are grown. While we are in the process of standardizing how our plants are listed here online, many of them still have the notations from the grower's availability list. Here are some common ones that you will see on our website:
- 17cm = about 6.5" diameter = 1 gallon container
- 19cm = about 7.5" diameter = 1 gallon container
- G1 = 1 gallon container
- G2 = 2 gallon container
- G3 = 3 gallon container
The size of the actual plant will vary greatly based on the plant, season, and growing stage. In some cases we can provide some more details from the grower as requested.
