Smaller plants benefit from getting accustomed to your soil and site sooner than those in larger pots. Imagine how helpful that would be for a tree that commonly comes in a 10- to 20-gallon pot, root bound and pampered. **DOOR**
They’ll establish quickly. Younger plants are in an aggressive stage of growth, putting out as many roots as they can. This means they will generally grow up sooner than a larger, older plant, which has already put on that root growth in a pot — this is why you often see so much root circling in those larger pots. Since the plants are growing quickly underground, you can expect that in the same season or next they’ll put on a healthy amount of top growth — further covering the soil and helping the garden look more established sooner. Tip: If you are planting a flower that takes longer to mature, you might want to buy a year-old specimen in a larger container so it keeps pace with your other younger, newer plants.
They’ll compete against weeds better. If you go the route of purchasing more plugs or small pots instead of one or two larger plants, you can plant the garden more thickly, as you’d see in nature. This tight-knit community of young plants will establish in the space more quickly than more mature plants, competing against weeds sooner while shading the soil and conserving moisture within it.

The curved bench, made by Galanter & Jones from cast stone and powder-coated stainless steel, can be plugged in and cranked up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, making a seat away from the hearth just as toasty as one close to the fireplace.
