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:

Arrives as young plant
I am so happy with the plants and this company. I ordered 22 plants, one arrived too sad to plant, and three others are struggling with this summer's heat and drought. I contacted Great Gardens yesterday, and arrangements have already been made for four replacements to be shipped. These little guys are thriving in the worst possible soil... Ozark clay gravel.Two rows are already softening a concrete retaining wall.
Beautifully packaged with care. Very healthy plants. Thriving and beautiful in my garden. Thank you.
It has been insane miserably hot but these guys are thriving. Easy on the water even in 100+ temp. Saw a little browning but trimmed & they are beautiful & growing. I'm so anxious to see them really expload but in a few short months I can see noticeable progress. I paired these with the Dolce Wildberry Coral Bells. The Blues are circling the Bells with a red mulch looks great! Great Garden really is a great nursery
All three of our plants are still alive but don’t look good at all.
Hello! Thank you for leaving a review. This time of year it is so important that your new plants receive enough water. Watering tends to be one of the most common problems for new plants, since they need more water than the mature plants in your garden.
It's hard to say for certain why you're not seeing growth in your new plants since so many factors like weather, soil type, watering, and fertilizing all come into play. Perhaps you're familiar with the old saying about plants: first year sleep, second year creep, third year leap. This applies to plants in the garden center as well as plants you purchase online. They generally spend their first year growing roots in their new home, the second year they have more energy to put into growth, and the third year, they are growing vigorously.
We do offer at 60-day guarantee on all of our plants! If your plants appear to be dying, please send photos of them to claims@greatgardenplants.com, making sure to put your order number and name in the subject line so that we may provide the best assistance possible. If you received your order within 60 days, we will happily refund your purchase or send replacements. Happy Gardening!
Arrived in quality packaging a year ago. They've grown beautifully in a full-sun area in North Texas.
The best part? They're actually blue! Very pretty accent plants that survive high heat, drought, and multiple freezes. They are real landscape standouts!
