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:

Ordered a pretty expensive amount of plants and with my mother in laws help we planted and nursed them spring/summer. Followed all directions. She agreed they were sent just too small. Requested a refund as all 9 did not grow, no luck. They offered 50% off another order of the same plant. I found the same plant, but larger so more viable from a local farm.
As we stated in our previous response, we do understand that plants that are put in the ground in the fall will require the warmth of the following spring to determine whether or not they made it through the winter. This is why we extend our warranty for plants purchased in the fall until May 31 of the following year. It’s surprisingly normal for newly transplanted plants to appear like they aren’t growing. That’s because most of the growth occurs below ground in their first year as they allocate more energy to root development. Once your plant is established, it will start investing more in shoot and flower development. To learn more about how plants “sleep, creep, and leap”, read our FAQ here: https://bit.ly/FAQ-plant-growth
We guarantee all of our plants are viable, and if youre looking for something larger in size, we would recommend our gallon shrubs!
Ordered a fairly expensive amount of these and other varieties and they are just too small. Nursed them over the summer without success. I’d recommend a larger specimen from a local store. Very disappointed overall.
As mentioned in our previous responses, on each product page and our plant sizes page, we note that all of our plants are young. The most important thing when purchasing plants, online or in garden centers, is a full and robust root system, which we prioritize. All orders are covered by our 60-day guarantee, so please reach out to claims@greatgardenplants.com to start the claims process if necessary.
great company
I have never ordered plants online, so I was somewhat skeptical and didn't know what to expect. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised!! My hydrangeas arrived in perfect condition. I followed the directions and waited the 48 hours before planting. Once I had them in the ground, I watered them with some root starter and all I can say is wow! They are doing so amazing. Based off my first experience, I have since ordered some other plants and shrubs for my back garden. I can't wait for them to arrive! I will say that I don't post reviews, but I've had such a great experience that I felt compelled to let others know how happy I have been with the whole experience.
Great packaging. Strong plants and looking forward to them growing and blooming.
