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:

Very healthy and packaged well!!
I love the pop of blue green these give and the contrast of the bloom color. I ordered these at the end of year and had to race around getting dahlias out of the ground which meant this was planted very last second. Then something really unusual happened we got -8 temps and then -14 when we rarely get any negative temps. This tough little plant held on through all that. I expected I might lose this plant. I did make sure to keep my new plantings watered in the winter if needed. Zone 7.
I was expecting something much hardier. Barely a three inch pot.
We're sorry you are not satisfied with your plants! We do note that all of our plants are young on each product page and on our plant sizes page https://www.greatgardenplants.com/pages/sizes.The size and maturity of the plants varies widely depending on the time of the year you purchased and if they were recently trimmed. The important thing when it comes to purchasing plants, whether online or in a garden center, is that they have a full, robust root system, and that's what we prioritize in our greenhouses. The more roots a plant has, the more energy it can put into growing once it is planted in your garden. We do keep our plants trimmed to encourage strong root development! Rest assured, we have a guarantee on all our plants. Our fall guarantee covers plants received after September 1 until May 2024! If you received your plants within that timeframe, we would happily apply your warranty once we receive the pictures. Happy Gardening!

Firewitch Dianthus is a beautiful color and looked healthy when it arrived. But died right after I planted it. Was very disappointed.
I purchased 5 plants online. They were delivered quickly and they were very healthy. Very pleased!
