Description
Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:

It's been a couple of seasons now and the blooms have not come out like the stars pictured. Rather, they look the same as Gatsby Gal. Still an interesting addition to the garden with the dramatic red of the foliage in the fall, but I would have preferred the star-shaped flowers.

These arrived looking very healthy. Great growth over the past few months. Very satisfied!
I ordered this and a Gatsby Gal at the same time. They both arrived looking very, very sad, but the Gatsby Gal bounced back. The Gatsby Star did not and completely died. No fault of the company, I should have ordered when it wasn’t so hot (I’m in TX) but took a chance because there was a BOGO sale happening. Planning to order another Gatsby Star to try again but I’ll wait until it’s not so hot!
